Psyche On The Skin: Art And History
Part of Scratch the Surface - DIALOGUE 2017 mental health arts festival, curated by Collective//Pod
Self-harm is often thought to be a modern epidemic, associated with social changes, mass media, the internet and the challenges of adolescence. But what can we learn from the history of a phenomenon that was first categorised over 150 years ago? And how can art and literature inform our understanding of mental health and illness and support us through it?
