Welcome to this series of conversations with the people behind the creation of The Suicide Chronicles.
The Suicide Chronicles is a long term artistic project led by Mark Storor, exploring how we might collectively create a language to share our experiences of suicide. Each chronicle focuses on one individual story or one particular aspect of suicide, and the project asks: What's important? How are we responsible for each other? What kind of world do we want to live in and how do we want to hold each other within it?
Each Chronicle takes a unique form, whether film, performance or installation, and have been made public through intimate in-person sharings in community cinemas, disused shops and moonlit woodlands. We have recorded a series of conversations with the people who have made The Suicide Chronicles as a way to share the project beyond these public moments and to provide a window into the discussions and experiences of the collaborative team who make the work.
These conversations are hosted by Angela Samata and create a space for reflecting upon the processes and journeys behind the Chronicles.
