Creative Approaches to Suicide Awareness

Creative Approaches to Suicide Awareness

Reimagine Redditch is commissioning an artist, collective, or creative practitioner to co-create an artwork with Redditch people who have lived experience of suicide.

Lived experience may refer to people who have:
• Attempted to end their life by suicide
• Experienced suicidal thoughts
• Lost someone they know to suicide
• Experienced strong feelings of overwhelm, worthlessness or shame
• Care for or support people with mental health challenges

Once in place, our artist in residence will co-create a scalable artwork, working at mental health and wellbeing partner venues that support people who have lived experience of suicide.

The project and artwork will:

  • Increase awareness of the stories of people who have lived experience of suicide.
  • Create new or add value to existing peer-to-peer networks in Redditch.
  • Co-create an artwork that is scalable and useable after the project is delivered.
