Assisted and enabled by Joe Mahoney, An Lanntair’s Digital Artist-in-Residence at Grianan, 1 in 4 is a project funded my SEE ME, working in collaboration with the Western Isles Association for Mental Health (WIAMH) and CATCH 23 that looks at addressing stigma and mental health through art.
Knowing that 25% of people will experience mental health issues at some point in their lives, participants from Catch 23 produced 25 pieces of visual art work, 25 pieces of creative writing and 25 video pieces. The exhibition is a combination of all these works creating a varied landscape in which the viewer can travel and explore the idea of mental health both through an individuals eyes and how, we as a society, reflect upon it.
A book and DVD will also be produced containing all the work created for the project.
