Roundtable Discussion - Art Power in Mental Health Full Recap
When art ceases to be a remote ivory tower to become a medium of communication accessible to all, how can we ensure that it – by sharing in the fabric of the city and probing our daily lives – help us connect and start anew?
Four overseas and local artists will delve into the motivations, ideas, strengths and potential generated from the pursuit of artistic endeavours, while prominent scholars and professionals from various sectors will share their experiences working on the frontline to offer new perspectives on the power of art to foster mental and spiritual health.
