The National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC) exhibition, Vital (A)(R)(T), will be on display November 1, 2010 through December 5, 2010 and co-sponsored by the UT Southwestern Medical Center Department of Psychiatry.
Vital (A)(R)(T) is a curated exhibit designed to promote public discussion about depression, bipolar illness and other mood disorders. The exhibit aims to reach a wide spectrum of viewers, from mental health professionals to individuals with mood disorders and their families, to the general public. Many of the artists featured have lived with depression or experienced mental illness through family members or others.
Themes in the exhibit reflect the diversity of these experiences and present a spectrum of attitudes – from suffering to hope. NNDC hopes this exhibit will amplify the diverse voices which are often unheard due to the stigma and debilitating effects of mental illness.
