Alright Mate?
Our first installation was made before we formed as a company and is now our namesake.
In early 2018 we interviewed a wide range of men in Exeter about their ideas and experiences of mental health. We then teamed up with wet-plate photographer Stephen Raff to produce portraits of the participants. The portraits are displayed with headphones that play looping medleys of excerpts of the conversations we had.
We first exhibited at Roots Foundation Barbershop & Social Space before touring to art spaces and conferences and winning 1st prize for art at PsychArt Conference 2018. Thanks to Roots for first hosting this, it was our first step to Alright Mate?'s journey.
Fatherhood & Mental Health
This installation consists of portraits of and recorded conversations with 22 people about their ideas and experiences around the topic of 'fatherhood and mental health'.
This installation was made using photography from Stephen Raff, bespoke audio devices made by Simon Belshaw and support from IntoBodmin, Kaleider, and Boxing Futures
