Masculinity: The Shame & Uprising
TBC for 2022
Full fee: £70
Concession: £55
Location: Turner Room, ETNA, 13 Rossalyn Rd, Twickenham, TW1 2AR
What the workshop is about
​
“Since men are born into male bodies, but not the successful accomplishment of culturally appropriate versions of masculinity, becoming a man is a complex process of learning and doing within shifting sets of social constraints.”
​
Each day, an alarming amount of men take their own lives, statistics reveal that 90 per cent of all violent crimes are carried out by men and yet a disproportionate amount of men seek psychological support. ‘Toxic masculinity’, ‘Male privilege’, ‘Male patriarchy’ and ‘#MeToo’ constantly litter the headlines of newspapers, journals, blogs and twitter feeds. Both men and women are starting to acknowledge that there is a problem with masculinity, or at least our contemporary constructions of it.
The current state of affairs, provokes the following questions:
​
How does a world that demands strength from men, yet limits their expressions to machismo, compound the male struggles with shame, neglect, grief and vulnerability?
​
What has become of masculinity and how can men contribute positively in relation to themselves and the world?
​
These questions will be explored through film, popular culture, history and honest discussion, with the intent to expand our psychological understanding and effectiveness in the therapy room.
