Steve Ouditt
With recent events, the subject of mental health has been thrust into the spotlight both abroad and in Trinidad and Tobago. Such happenings as the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary school in Connecticut, the release of the Academy award-nominated film Silver Linings Playbook, which features a number of characters with mental health issues, and the carting off of Cheryl Miller – an employee of the Ministry of Gender, Youth and Child Development – to the St Ann’s Psychiatric Hospital after an outburst at her job, have all stirred conversations about emotional, psychological and social well-being. Artist Steve Ouditt engages with these concerns in his latest exhibition entitled Steve Ouditt Proceeds to Mental Health. His display of 133 drawings and collages will open to the public on Thursday March 7, 2013 at Medulla Art Gallery, 37 Fitt Street Woodbrook, Port of Spain. It is Ouditt’s first solo exhibition in Trinidad, in eighteen years. more
