Why Art in the Shadows can help put feelings into words.
Because sometimes a book says something we couldn’t say ourselves.
Sometimes a painting captures a feeling we’ve carried for years.
Sometimes writing helps us understand something that has been difficult to explain.
This is a place to explore those moments — through literature, art and writing, and through the complicated business of being human.
Art in the Shadows explores literature, writing and art – and the ways they can help us make sense of ourselves and the world we inhabit.
