Temperatures is a cooperative program by Bonner Kunstverein, Kunstverein München, and Kunstverein Nürnberg with events including talks, readings, concerts, and performances expanding the digital space within the existing infrastructures of the three institutions.
The seventh event, Risk of the Caring Kind, takes the form of a talk with Adam Hines-Green, who is an artist, writer, and doctor working in psychiatry for the NHS. Hines-Green is based in London.
This talk will address the central importance of risk assessment and management in contemporary mental health care. It will consider the form of the individual subject implied by a focus on risk, to include both patients and professional practitioners such as psychiatrists. Touching on historical precedents, professional guidelines, and personal experience, it will ultimately ask how consideration of risk impacts on notions of care and responsibility in psychiatric services.
The talk will be held in English. The event is be accessible online, free of charge, and possible without prior registration via the following link: http://us02web.zoom.us/j/81026567676.
