Matt Bodett
Matt Bodett is an artist and the founder and director of the Center for Mad Culture, in Chicago, Illinois. His work is driven by a desire to reimagine classical paintings and cultural myths through the lens of madness, not as a medical condition, but as a culturally relevant and human experience. So much of our cultural history romanticizes or sanitizes madness, often using it as a means to highlight genius or religious sainthood. Instead, he challenges these narratives, reworking them to include madness as a rich, ordinary part of human life. He wants to explore what it means to live in a world that embraces madness as an essential part of identity. Learn more about Matt on his website: mattbodett.com and the Center for Mad Culture.
