A theatrical experiment, autopsy, and installation examining the creative process and the correlations between mental health and artistry. Led by multidisciplinary artist Corey Allen, the work features an immersive installation with interactive media, visual art, audio content, and short films inspired by the lives and legacies of James Baldwin, Beauford Delaney, Nina Simone, and Julius Eastman.
Featuring over twenty original artworks, six films, surprise guest respondents, and an ever-evolving installation that changed daily, Methods in Madness asks: why create art? Does it heal or harm us? Must artists suffer? What's the price of so-called genius?
