Join Dr Gavin Francis, Micha Frazer-Carroll and Natasha Devon to discuss the social, medical and political nature of mental health.
We’ll explore the dynamic and adaptive nature of our minds and the importance of context, curiosity and care in understanding ourselves and others.
This event is inspired by ‘The Unfragile Mind’, a forthcoming book by Dr Gavin Francis that examines the chequered history of psychiatry and the nature of mental health.

![Q. Why were Victorian-era moustaches so big and bushy? #shorts
A. The bigger and bushier the moustache, the more effective they’d be at filtering pollution. (At least, that’s what the Victorians believed – it’s not completely clear if it made much of a difference.)
However, taming such a big, bushy moustache was not straightforward – and it sometimes required the use of an intriguing contraption called a moustache trainer 🥸
To find out more about the Victorian gentleman’s grooming routine, head to our YouTube for our full-length tutorial with Dominic Skinner, and watch him transform into the spitting image of his great great uncle, Thomas Hardy.
And if you’re London-based, come see the moustache trainer in all its real-life glory at The Cult of Beauty. Our latest exhibition runs until 28th April 2024.

He has a fabulous moustache, which is neatly groomed and curled upwards at the ends. On the left of the screen, there are jars of what looks like Victorian-era hair care products. And on the right, an easel with a board full of black-and-white pictures featuring moustached Victorian men.]
