ARTSPACE SCREENING & DISCUSSION
Wednesday 30 November 6.30pm

At this event, Mieke Bal and Michelle Williams Gamaker's new feature film "A Long History of Madness" was presented in association with the WALK performances, hosted by Artspace, Sydney. This was followed by an informal discussion and drinks, with artists Lily Hibberd and WART, alongside film critic Adrian Martin.

This night aimed to engage people with direct experience of institutional confinement, and those working or associated with arts, academic, and community and state mental health and corrections organisations. Over the evening, we intend to examine the history and interpretation of Australia's former and ongoing major institutions of confinement and how notions of madness might influence practices and representations of punitive confinement today.
