CONCEPT FILM
WHAT WE DO
From experience to spaces for dialogue and action
We begin with lived experience and build alliances with dissenting voices across disciplines. Through art and other creative practices, we question the social conditions and power relations behind distress, and create spaces for dialogue, civic participation and collective action.
Our work brings together mental health arts practice, lived-experience co-creation, public writing, public education and collaboration across disciplines.
