Where to seek help in challenging times?

Penarth neighbours: Illustrator Chris Glynn and poet Luca Paci unpack their touring exhibition of texts and images, book hacks and music, to explore creative collaboration, friendship, and the idea of self-help. The event centres around characters shipwrecked on the imaginary Self-Help Island.

Self Help! creates a safe conversational space to reflect on some of the challenges of the past three years, taking a sideways look at the pros and cons of self-help culture. This exhibition features a free programme of events exploring the themes of the show as well as guest appearances from local artists and writers.

The Self-Help project began in 2022 at Oriel Canfas in Cardiff, and tours to Milan in 2023 via The Turner House.
