Grounding Practice: Art Aches with John Costi

Part of The Artists' Fair 2025

Join artist John Costi for an afternoon of honesty, humour, and solidarity, drawing from Instagram story rants that call out the contradictions and injustices of the art world — from class exclusion to the daily grind of being an under-supported artist.

Channelling his alter ego Bapou, John will respond live to audience-submitted ‘Art Aches’ — part confessional, part group therapy, part call to action, this Grounding Practice creates a space for artists and art workers to speak openly, laugh loudly, and feel seen.
