Behind the scenes of Mind Behind the Myth with Daniel Regan

I recently wrote a piece for Historic Royal Palaces about my involvement for their current exhibition George III: The Mind Behind The Myth. You can read the piece in full over on their website.

How does the story of George III’s treatment at Kew Palace inform discussion of male mental health today?

For our exhibition Mind Behind the Myth, we partnered with local community groups to interpret some of the objects on display, reflecting on how what we know about George’s ill health speaks to mens’ lived experiences in 21st-century London. Over a series of sessions, the group found out more about George III’s story, explored their own mental health journeys, and contributed directly to the final exhibition with object labels offering personal and creative responses.

In this special blog, freelance photographic artist and group facilitator Daniel Regan reflects on his experience with the group, and shares photographs of the time they spent working together.
