HOOKED: WHEN WANT BECOMES NEED
From gambling to gaming and smartphones to social media, HOOKED invited you to question what makes us as humans vulnerable to addiction and interrogated the underlying factors and routes to recovery. Working with artists, young people and researchers and clinicians from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King’s College London and South London and Maudsley Trust, the season challenged the stigmas associated with addiction. The programme considered addiction as a health issue we are all susceptible to, and explore how recovery takes many forms.
HOOKED was reimagined for an exhibition in Science Gallery Atlanta at Emory University from May-September 2022.
