Mindscapes

Combining diverse perspectives and expertise, the programme includes artist residencies, exhibitions, public programming, events, 'I Hope This Helps' (a crowdsourced documentary) and publishing.

Being staged in a number of cities around the world, including Bengaluru, Berlin, New York and Tokyo, Mindscapes centres hyper-local conversations about mental health and wellbeing that have global relevance. 

Mindscapes brings together culture, communities, policy and research, and is informed and inspired by Wellcome's mental health programme.

One in four people experience a mental health problem every year but, for decades, treatments have hardly progressed. A holistic scientific, social and cultural approach is needed, now more than ever.

Through a range of cultural activities, Mindscapes will provide new perspectives on how people and communities in different contexts live with and seek solutions to their mental health problems.
