Hearing Voices: Memoirs from the Margins of Mental Health Opening Reception
Come celebrate the reprint of one of the works featured in the exhibit, John Perceval’s Narrative of the Treatment Experienced by a Gentleman, During a State of Mental Derangement (London, 1839), published by Lanternfish Press under the title Under That Calamity. Lindsey Grubbs, Assistant Professor, Health Sciences at California State University and former LCP Fellow, will reflect on writing the introductory text for the reprint. Exhibit curators Rachel D’Agostino and Sophia Dahab will also share a short presentation on the process of curating such sensitive materials for a modern audience. The evening will include a reception and lively conversation as we look closely at government documents, institutional reports, and first-hand accounts that tell the stories of the 19th century asylum and its residents.
