CHAOS: A Co-Creation

A book published as a result of a year-long collaborative project between masters level illustration students and participants of social service provider The Chaos Group, which was initiated to explore the potential of illustration to serve as a tool for exploring mental health. There have been numerous personal and collective outcomes of this project, one tangible result of this process is the book ‘CHAOS: A Co-Creation.' The project’s initial core aims arising from this session were to explore the potential of authorial illustration to unlock those places closed down by life’s negative experiences, and also to shine a light on the holistic approach that the CHAOS group take, through the participants’ own voices. Could an illustrational mindset – one rooted within personal authorship – bring out those personal voices, re-kindling a sense of worth and self-esteem
