PROJECT DESCRIPTION

With the project, we aim to shine a light on the broader dimension of the issue of mental disorders. We will deal with the role of creativity as a form of reflection on and engagement with both the personal experience of inner distress and the broader consideration of the impact of social systems on mental health. We will be interested in the methodologies employed by artists, who work with vulnerable groups, how they translate their own hardships into artistic form and what issues they deal with, when confronted by mental disorders. Therefore the focus of the project will be on workshops led by artists in order to get familiar with the methodologies the artists are using and detect what can we learn from artists that can not be learned in the therapy room.
