Being at St Clements
A one night event showing work made by patients and artists in a London psychiatric hospital.

6 – 9 pm (Live show @ 7 pm)

Being at St Clements has been created by a group of patients based in a London Psychiatric Hospital. Working with 3 artists commissioned by SPACE, and mentored by Core Arts, the work is about being a patient in the UK’s Mental Health system today. Work includes the premiere screening of Hotel de Pinhey which was made on Pinhey Ward, 3 short pieces about families and friends, medication and hospital gardens and a demonstration of crocheting. It will be shown alongside an animation made with Bowhaven, a user run Mental Health day centre (as part of the Bow Older People’s Project) and a live show featuring lead figures from the mad scene, Ben Watson, Melanie Clifford and Frank Bangay & Tunde Busari.

Commissioned Artists are Elizabeth Hobbs, Jocasta Lucas and Douglas Nicolson.

St Clements Hospital is now closed and is currently being transformed into luxury flats.
