'Anita: A Group Show' - Project Coordinator
From the suicide of a close friend came the inception of this group show. Two years in the making, I brought together Anita's close friends (all artists) and Anita's work in an exhibition to celebrate Anita's life, discuss mental health and raise awareness in the community. The project had the endorsement of BeyondBlue (depression awareness organisation) and was held during Mental Health Week.
2005
'Anita: A Group Show' Public Forum - Panellist
A public forum was held with a panel of professionals from the mental health industry and two artists from the exhibition. Chaired by a member of BeyondBlue, a discussion of mental health issues took place.
