Masculinity, Mental Health & Creativity

Artists Tsoku Maela and Abbas Zahedi share their creative journeys and practices, exploring the intersections of race, masculinity and mental health. Their discussion is chaired by writer and artist Sai Murray.

This video was adapted from an event we ran in March 2021 as part of our Reimagining Masculinities programme (formerly Men of Colour Healing programme). We create spaces to reimagine masculinities as one approach towards unlearning and healing from gender norms and patriarchal violence, running alongside our Survivor Support programme.
