Clydebank LibraryClydebank, West Dunbartonshire
Saturday, Feb 21 from 11 am to 12 pm GMT
Overview

Creativity, Resilience and Mental Health. Join photographer Robert H. King to hear about what inspires and motivates him to create his work

Creativity, Resilience and Mental Health.


Photography is not the most obvious coping mechanism for sight loss and its associated physical and mental challenges. However, for Clydebank based digital photographic artist Robert H. King found his creative voice through it.


When everything feels heavy, making something, anything, is a way of saying, “I’m still here.” Take a photograph, draw, write, whatever keeps the spark alive. Creating isn’t about ignoring pain, it’s about pushing back against it, one small act at a time. Because creativity is self-care and every bit of it helps you heal and reflect upon yourself. Create, despite the struggle. Create as an act of defiance.


Come along and join Robert for an informal talk and presentation on his practice, its themes and how these have developed.


Thanks to Museums Galleries Scotland this event is free but ticketed.

The library is accessible but if you have any specific needs please dont hesitate to get in touch.
