Other People’s Practices (OPP) is an artist residency and research project. Phase 1 took place in Usher’s Island, a National Forensic Mental Health Service community centre in Dublin 8, and supported the production of collaborative, socially engaged projects with recovered and recovering service users of the Central Mental Hospital.

Other People’s Practices: And More Besides is a publication exploring Phase 1 of OPP and its transitioning period to Phase 2. It is researched and written by Dr Sheelagh Broderick. And More Besides… is funded by the artsandhealth.ie documentation bursary award 2019.
