Mindfront Health’s Debut Exhibition Unleash the Power of Art Therapy
Starting from 25th August, Mindfront Health held a public welfare exhibition in Xi'an with the theme of "Life Choices: Touching the Apathy and Warmth of the City", aiming to arouse social attention to mental health issues, and be more caring to depressed and anxious minds.
The over 350 artworks presented in this exhibition are mainly created by patients who have participated in art therapy at Xi'an Gaoxin Mindfront Mental Health Hospital. They are not artists or masters, but ordinary people like us.
The hospital started its art therapy programme in April 2022, during which patients created many meaningful and powerful works. This exhibition allows more people to see the possibility of artistic expression, feel the emotions and power conveyed in artworks, and also seek resonance and help from mental health professionals.
In addition, Mindfront consultants will lead the audience to have a preliminary experience of psychotherapy during the exhibition, including group psychotherapy and art therapy related workshops. Through the exploration of mindfulness therapy and expressive therapy, participants are able to experience how emotions and art collide, how to relieve negative emotions, accept self-emotions, and build a bridge between self and inner communication.
