As artistic director of Silent Revolution since 2007, I practice as an artist, writer, facilitator, coach, and public speaker. I speak the unspoken on madness. I am based at Sanctum Studio, an arts space I co-manage with my husband, Lachlan Plain. I have over fifteen years experience working in the arts and mental health sectors. In 2018 I was awarded a Banyule City Council Arts and Culture Community Grant to co-facilitate, with Lachlan in Sanctum Studio, the Look, A Book! program, working with children aged 5-6 who engage with Kilparran to create a picture story book. In 2019 I was awarded a VMIAC grant, then in 2020 a DHHS grant, to host and co-facilitate a support group for mothers who have experienced madness. In 2020, I received a Banyule City Council Quick Arts Response grant to write a reflective piece titled The Listening Project based on listening as a woman who knows madness to a Persian woman tell her story on grief. In 2020, I also received a Banyule City Council Business grant to develop the Silent Revolution website. In 2022, I created a short video titled Manifesto for the Mad for Banyule City Council’s Reels on Wheels outdoor event. In 2022, I officially launched Silent Revolution at Sanctum Studio as part of the Banyule Open Studios launch party by presenting an art and sound installation titled Closer to my Self. In 2022, I was awarded a Public Art Commission by Banyule City Council to present a sound art installation in August of 2022 titled Do I Belong Here? at the Greensborough Plaza bus stop. I was assistant producer for Melbourne Fringe Festival’s Furniture and Inventions programs in 2004.I coordinated the Kew Community Festival in 2006 and 2007. I have worked with Sanctum Studio since its inception in 2006 including as publicist, performer and puppeteer, mask, puppet and giant lantern co-facilitator in creative workshops, production and stage manager for puppet floats and puppet shows, and as puppet minder for roving giant puppets at festivals.I worked in the mental health sector as a recreational youth worker for Kew Neighbourhood Learning Centre (2006 to 2008), as a support worker for MIND Australia (2006 to 2008), as Youth Consumer Consultant for Austin Health’s Youth Early Psychosis program (2008 to 2010), and as a peer support worker for NEAMI (2010 to 2012). I did a Social Work placement at Borderlands Cooperative and was published in New Community Quarterly for my article on my community practice in my Local Energy Transfer System (LETS).
