Conversation Corner 10th-14th October 10.00am-2.00pm dailyDuring Queensland Mental Health Week the Butter Factory Arts Centre is holding a Conversation Corner within Ian Richter’s exhibition Making Light of the Dark. This activity is made possible through a partnership with Mental Illness Fellowship QLD – Sunshine Coast. Conversation Corner aims to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness by raising awareness and providing information about mental health and wellbeing services.
Making Light of the Dark is a collection of photographic images that speak to those people who have Depression, for within the images’ reversed state, all darkness becomes light, and colour is reversed. It is hoped by ‘turning it around’, people who suffer from depression and related mental illness can be helped through an awareness and greater understanding of mental illness; people will know there is help out there and that they don’t have to go through it alone. This exhibition provides a unique way for many people to view the world in a new light. Making Light of the Dark is held in conjunction with Queensland Mental Health Week 2017. www.butterfactoryartscentre.com.au/upcoming-exhibitions.html |
