Youth, Interrupted

Romy Dwosh Serenity breaking down 2007 earthenware 17x18x7cm

Youth, Interrupted presents artworks created by young people in their teens and twenties whose lives were disrupted by mental illness or trauma. With reference to their personal stories, the art of these young individuals provides powerful insights into their emotional experiences, their concerns, interests and artistic influences.

The paintings, drawings, ceramics and visual diaries have been created in a variety of contexts ranging from psychiatric hospital art programs (1950s – 1980s) to contemporary settings including private studios, community art programs, VCE and tertiary art programs and a Sri Lankan disaster relief camp.

Youth, Interrupted highlights the important role of art in each of these young lives.
