A Darker Christmas will display original pieces of work from people with a connection to Devon will shine a light on the hidden horrors that lurk at Christmas. It is not intended to take the fun out of Christmas, but rather bring attention to the many mental health conditions that are exacerbated by the holiday. And for those who are in pain, the exhibition aims to make it clear that they are not alone.

The organisers are still seeking pieces to include in the exhibition, and work can be of any discipline, so expect to experience music, poetry, soundscapes, paintings, illustrations, photos, light displays, films, models, poems, short stories, and maybe even live pieces of theatre.

All physical pieces will be available to purchase. And please head to Pen Work Media’s website www.penworksmedia.co.uk/blog/a-darker-christmas
