“Hope and fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.” Maya Angelou “Hope” is my contribution to the annual ArtCan fundraiser. From ArtCan with Love is a one-night-only event offering postcard sized contemporary artworks donated by ArtCan artist members worldwide. Hundreds of unique pieces will be available for just £40 each. See exhibition details below. Remember – Friends of ArtCan get early access to the sale as part of their membership. As you can see from my posts, I am a great advocate of women but as a society we must not neglect boys. The world needs young men to know what masculinity looks like when men are at their best now the original narrative has been considerably revised and acknowledged. The book I’m currently immersed in (more to come on this one) is “The Anxious Generation” by Jonathan Haidt. He talks about the rewiring of childhood from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood, and he has a chapter specifically on how phones/screens have affected boys. The first striking quote is this one: “ when we feel the social order weakening or dissolving, we don’t feel liberated; we feel lost and anxious”… Audio credit: @charliemackesy From ArtCan, With Love 23rd July 2024 6pm - 8pm Bermondsey Project Space, 183 - 185 Bermondsey Street, London, SE1 3UW #contemporaryart #artcanpostcard #hope #youngmentalhealth #fear #phonegeneration #anxiety #positivity #kindnessmatters #boys #rolemodelsmatter #childrenarethefuture #masculinity #figurativepainting
