A new exhibition opening at HOME Manchester this week will see the main gallery transformed into a semi-public artist studio and psychotherapy space, exploring the nuances of experiences at the intersections of racial identity
MY MUM IS WHITE by artist Linda Brogan and psychologist Adam Danquah will facilitate a journey of psycho-social exploration with a group of eight mixed-heritage cultural practitioners based in Manchester.
Together this intergenerational group will excavate personal stories, lay truths bare, and forge pathways forward in solidarity.
Based on each participant’s unique story, Brogan will fill the gallery walls with sixteen large-scale drawings using a method of mind mapping she first developed as a personal therapeutic tool in the early 2000s. This unfolding, unruly forest of lived experience will form a powerful basis for reflection and integration, also creating the setting for the culmination of the group’s journey in a self-devised embodied grief ritual.
When not in use for private sessions, the public are invited to witness Brogan at work and use the space for their own reflections and conversations. A programme of public workshops led by Brogan and Danquah will run parallel to the private group sessions.
