Abstract
At the heart of this chapter are two art projects which articulate at-home-ness in myth stories: ‘Earth Stories’ and ‘Sleeping Giants’ –digital videos that emerged out of a two-year long workshop series with a group of mental health system survivors in Wales, in the United Kingdom. As a resident of a small Welsh village, and a fellow disabled person, I collaborated with people using the village’s mental health self-help center, and we created communal poetry, dance, performance, traditional music, and video.
