Off the Shelf Festival: Mind: You’re Language - Ian McMillan and Patrick Murphy

Tue 15 October 2024 , 12:30pm-1:30pm

Millennium Gallery

Mind: You’re Language explores the language of mental health and how this has changed from the establishment of Sheffield’s Middlewood Hospital in 1872 to the current day.

 

For this illustrated event, artist Patrick Murphy uses evocative artwork and poet Ian McMillan performs verse to help trace the shifting language and attitudes toward mental health and illness over 150 years. 

  

Mind: You’re Language is a unique collaboration between artist Patrick Murphy, poet Ian McMillan, Dr Chris Blackmore and Shirin Teifouri. 

 

The event is organised by the Off the Shelf Festival. Views expressed at this event do not reflect those of Sheffield Museums.
