Mental: Head Inside

  • Free
  • Art

The Mental exhibition is a welcoming place to confront societal bias and stereotypes around mental health.

Mental presents over 20 experimental projects from local and international artists and research collaborators that reflect a range of different perspectives on mental health and ways of being. Part exhibition, part experiment, this is a place to explore, empathise and question what it means to be human using science, technology and creativity.

Curated in collaboration with a team of young people with input from experts and academics across the sciences and creative arts, lived experience has been platformed, acknowledged and centred as expertise in navigating a theme that matters more than ever.

Head inside and reflect on the many different ways of being, surviving and connecting in the world.
