This Is Not Personal invites you to create a personalised set of sign-cards to assist in times of difficulty.

Led by WA artist Jen Jamieson, this intimate workshop performance invites a small group to share an hour together and develop responses to the challenges of life when your mental health is not helping you socialise.

Have you ever been tempted to tell the checkout-chick your life story? Wish you had a ‘do not disturb’ sign for your work desk? Are you being pestered about not seeming yourself lately? Ever been asked “R U OK” and didn’t know how to respond?

Pairing personal reflection with social interaction and design aesthetics with the hand-made, This is not personal is an invitation to foster new ways of wellbeing and break down the barriers in talking about mental health.


Initially presented at PICA in 2020, as part of Fringe World Festival. Previously developed as part of Kiss Club, with PICA and pvi collective.
