Now at the Dax Centre in Parkville, this free-entry exhibition will showcase a collection of artworks that have been specially selected from the Cunningham Dax Collection – a collection of more than 16,000 artistic works produced by people with a lived experience of mental illness or psychological trauma.
The powerful exhibition will explore new possibilities of expression through a variety of artworks including; canvas paintings, watercolour, drawings, ceramic, poetry, video and audio as well as an immersive projection room.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to share their thoughts and feelings in the Poetry Forest – an interactive and suspended installation where everyone is encouraged to contribute to a community poem that will evolve and grow throughout the duration of the exhibition.
