TM8. edu #3 takes place at RA HQ on Thursday 5th May, during Mental Health Month. We’ll be focusing on well-being and how to navigate the rollercoaster of being an artist in 2022. While the taboo of speaking about mental health has lessened in recent years, illnesses like addiction, anxiety and depression remain prevalent in the music biz.
We’ll be talking about sobriety, performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, burn-out, jealousy and all the other ups and downs that, unfortunately, tend to go hand-in-hand when working in creative industries.
Entry is free, but space is limited. Secure your ticket. Big-ups to RA for funding our TM8.edu series.

Babetheory [MISERY]
babetheory is an artist, educator, cultural producer, club kid raver and co-creator of MISERY — a mental health community and sober party for queer, trans, intersex, black indigenous and people of colour. The core values of MISERY include harm reduction, healing justice, providing accessible sober spaces and cultivating community care.
Starting out as an LGBTQ youth worker, Babetheory currently collaborates with TIBIPOC artists and collectives to look at ways to redistribute wealth and resources to sustain grassroots queer, disabled-led and BIPOC platforms.
As “a mad capri-sun in recovery” they dream about a world where we do things differently. A place to play freely, be with each other and express ourselves without hesitation. They’re often plotting and scheming sustainable ways to make this magic happen.
