RICHMOND PARAKHEN

 [ group therapy ], clothing installation in Los Angeles, October 2016

[ group therapy ] ran from fall 2015 to winter 2019. Its’ initial intent was to have conversations dealing with mental health/illness that provided a conduit into producing and creating a clothing line. Often times it was a confusing concept that never quite made sense.

This became a beginning of crafted performances that delved into the human condition. The videos below pay homage to what existed and whats passed.

[ group therapy ] generated three separate installations in LA, NY, and Chicago in 2016. The audience experienced real conversations generated by stories of loss, suicide, and trauma, which were performed by Richmond Parakhen.
