Anhedonia

Named after a medical term for the inability to experience pleasure as a symptom of depression, Anhedonia marks the beginning of Cuthand’s long term and ongoing exploration of her own mental illness within her work. Performative and corporal, Anhedonia is an unapologetic first person testimony on the experience of suicidal ideation and the effects of homophobia and colonialism on mental health.
