À propos de cet audio

Art and creativity play a valuable role in building self-esteem, fulfilment and wellbeing. Through connecting with one another over art, we are able to delve into an open dialogue about the benefits creativity has on our mental health. The Drug of Art Podcast invites artists, in conversation with Alison Lapper, to discuss how art has benefited their life, and how creativity has been a tool for their self exploration, understanding and/or healing for their mental self. Through emphasising the impact art can have we have an aim to encourage young people to find their medium of expression!
