The Alcoholic's Tarot
Leon Clowes presents a transformative journey of recovery with tarot-informed conversations that consider how to live after addiction.
Artist Leon Clowes traces addiction recovery through the lens of a bespoke tarot deck. In a Brighton workshop, Leon invites people touched by addiction to share candid conversations sparked by his alcoholic misfortune-tellings.
The programme explores how addiction speaks to universal human experiences: sadness, resilience, and moments of levity. In partnership with recovery-focused arts organisations in Brighton (small performance adventures and Performing Recovery magazine), The Alcoholic鈥檚 Tarot weaves in city textures and intimate storytelling to produce an intimate and poignant portrait of recovery and connection.
