Daley Wilson and Mathews will discuss making work that is an expression of their visceral experiences with bipolar disorder, the stigma surrounding mental illness, and what it means to convey their experiences with mental illness in a way that transcends a medical diagnosis. The talk will be followed by a performance by Daley Wilson, in which he’ll continue his personal writing system painting live in front of an audience.
