Literacia em Saúde Mental
The aim of this project is to help overcoming the stigma attached to people suffering from mental disease. For this purpose, the project resorts to different artistic manifestations, as a strategy to promote a more contemporary presence within the community. Through design, (Re)desenhar a Doença Mental ([Re]designing Mental Illness), intends to procure a means of raising awareness to this issue in ten European nations. This project raises issues usually associated to empowerment, recovery and well-being. This is a way of creating artistic and communication resources that are likely to help dealing with the way this topics are perceived. That is why a picture of a printer shop was chosen, as its form will elicit from the viewer a reflection on the limits of legibility and letter recognition.
