This month's guest is Henny Beaumont, author of the graphic novel Hole in the Heart (Myriad Editions, 2016) a memoir about bringing up her daughter with Down's Syndrome. Henny has recently curated an exhibition at Worthing Museum - Invisible People - which mixes her own artwork with work created by people with learning difficulties and neurodiversity, supported by the charities Rocket Artists and Superstar Arts.



Invisible People is the outcome of Henny’s work as artist in residence with the British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD) and Respond UK, which help the health and social care sector’s understanding of trauma experienced by people with learning disabilities and by those on the autistic spectrum. The exhibition is open until Sunday 30 October.

Henny will be talking about how this exhibition builds on both her graphic novel work and her satirical illustrations that have been commissioned by The Guardian. One of these, entitled "Lost Generation," won the Political Cartoons Award for "Covid cartoon of the year" in 2021.
