Penarth neighbours illustrator Chris Glynn and poet Luca Paci unpack their touring exhibition Self Help Show in The Turner House in Penarth from 10th February – 12th March 2023.

This exhibition of texts and images, book hacks and music, explores creative collaboration, friendship, and the idea of self-help. The event centres around characters shipwrecked on the imaginary Self-Help Island.

Self Help Show creates a safe conversational space to reflect on some of the challenges of the past three years, taking a sideways look at the pros and cons of self-help culture. This exhibition features a free programme of events exploring the themes of the show as well as guest appearances from local artists and writers including Ivor Davies, Menna Elfyn, Philip Gross, Mab Jones and David Sinden.
