Kunst & Psyke / Art & Psychology .... try walking in my shoes
/
An exhibition on Kongens Nytorv that marks World Mental Health Day on 10 October.
The aim is to increase awareness of mental illness and to help a wider public to understand some of the problems that fellow citizens have to deal with when they live with a range of problems from psychotic episodes to hyper activity and attention disorders.
Curated by Ane-Cecilie Tovgaard, each panel has a portrait of the person and a photograph of their shoes and an account - a pen portrait - about problems encountered and about the consequences, day to day, from mental illness or mental difference.
Yet again, this open-air exhibition shows how public space in the city brings important issues to a large number of people who might not go to a museum or gallery or indoor venue for a specific event but whose attention can be attracted as they walk across the space.
