About the event
We wish to invite you to the opening of the gallery, “Mental Art Heals” by Lou Lim.
Lou Lim, a licensed mental health counsellor and registered expressive arts therapist,
Explore with Lou and the participants of his stress management and trauma groups how they navigate mental health, healing from the trauma of the earthquake in 2023, and manage day-to-day anxieties using expressive arts therapy.
The gallery here represents the work and insights participants had in understanding their day-to-day anxieties and held trauma about the earthquake in 2023 as well as insights Lou gained in his time as an expressive therapist in Istanbul over his 3 month residency culminating into this gallery. He hopes that viewers of this gallery will gain the ability to talk about their mental health in their communities and find their artistic voice in the process to work through their mental health needs in shared community.
