Human Gallery Volunteers Needed

I need some brave volunteers....as part of my upcoming exhibition 'Greyland' and in the spirit of the Time To Change Campaign of getting people to talk about mental health and fight the stigma I am trying to organise a new version of the human library.

The Ebb and flow of East Belfast

With only 4 days to go until the opening of my exhibition in the Engine room gallery I am suspiciously calm. Now why is this? Maybe it's because I have been doing the work for 2 years, so it's ready?
