Chalice Well Art Controversy or Who’s Responsible for Our Trauma?



** Trigger Warning **

There has been quite a lot of controversy circulating over the last week after the Chalice Well Gardens trustees decided to remove a favourite art piece, “Mother and Child” by Ganesh, due to the possibility it may create a negative experience for someone. Instead, the Gardens have received much backlash due to this decision. I can’t help wondering whether this issue offers the opportunity of exploring how we, as individuals and as a collective, deal with increasing levels of trauma in our society, as well as what happens when we continue to ignore it.
As such, this video comes with its own trigger warning as it mentions: abuse, sexual abuse, child sexual abuse, trauma, negative reactions to trauma.

    There is already a petition underway to replace the statue with a new statue of Eric Gill shagging his dog created by the Irish sculptor Pete O Foyle. Every right-thinking person should sign it.

    He used an artistic style he did not sympathize with Gill

  • @jgajewski8290 June 26, 2024

    It is just a statue though … Ganesh has no connection to what Gill did

  • @jgajewski8290 June 26, 2024

    Art and music are ways to express trauma .. we can’t live in a blank world there will always be triggers . Art is supposed to make you think .. its subjective

  • @jgajewski8290 June 26, 2024

    I think you’re very educated

  • @jgajewski8290 June 26, 2024

    Don’t go see it if it triggers you

  • @jgajewski8290 June 26, 2024

    Gill’s behavior has nothing to do with Ganesh he used an artistic style. If you’re triggered by the statue or the image that it portrays.. that’s the individual’s responsibility. Your (collective) triggers are not the world’s responsibility. It’s the person’s responsibility to address them. Period.
