Where Is My Mind?

29th August - 11th October 2026

Quench Gallery

A group exhibition bringing together artists with lived experience of mental health challenges at Margate's Quench Gallery

Open Friday - Sunday 12 noon - 6pm (or by appointment)

The project explores how artistic practice can function as a coping mechanism, a form of care, and a way of maintaining stability, while acknowledging the realities of making work alongside anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma, and burnout.

Rather than romanticising artistic suffering or framing mental health as a barrier to creativity, the exhibition centres on process, adaptation, and sustainability.

It highlights the practical and emotional systems artists develop to continue working, positioning art-making as something that can coexist with vulnerability and uncertainty.

Featuring work by: Billie Adele, Emii Alrai, Rana Begum, Brogan Bertie, BLCKGEEZER, Malcolm Bradley, Lizz Brady, Zoe De Caluwè, Rhys Coren, Matthew Derbyshire, Tracey Emin, Julie Freeman, Laura Footes, Andy Holden, Lindsey Mendick, Haroon Mirza, Kim Noble, Harold Offeh, Guy Oliver, Anya Paintsil, Athena Papadopolous, Hannah Perry, Nicky Petrie, Heather Phillipson, Kieran Rook, Prem Sahib
