Transformative arts and culture
Who are we?
Newly formed group to drive and energize various initiatives around creativity, artistic production, and mental health. The project aims to highlight artistic creation processes as a means of raising awareness for the improvement of recovery, socialization, and community inclusion pathways for individuals experiencing emotional distress.
Art contributes to psychological well-being and also provides elements of community well-being and health. Individually, it contributes by providing a task, helping to develop skills and recognize identities, allowing connection with oneself, and connection with others. The development of expressive arts allows for communication and expression beyond what words can convey, and generates spaces for collective construction through the sharing of perspectives, fostering debates and dialogues around each work and the creative process itself.
Making the creative process visible and giving voice to the authors of the works helps build healthier neighborhoods, contributing to the community's well-being. Art also brings well-being to our communities and offers them a tool for expressing their desires and also their discomforts.
Through art, men and women who use the mental health network have an opportunity to become visible, actively participate in the community, contribute to the community, and avoid exclusion.
What are our goals?
- Promote and make visible the transformative capacity of creative processes in the recovery of people suffering from emotional distress and discomfort.
- Promote spaces for debate and awareness in the community context on mental health and artistic creation.
- Promote the diffusion and distribution of artistic production in its various formats and expressions: painting/drawing, poetry and narrative, photography, music, theater, among others.
