One of the most inspiring and relevant collaborations we have is the one we've created with Manicómio. Manicómio is an artistic creation structure with a gallery and art studio with resident artists who have experienced or are experiencing mental illness, in a coworking space open to the public since 2018 in Beato, Lisbon. "Procession" is an exploratory journey into complexity of being, delving into human, social and artistic dignity. A celebration of madness, seen here not as a stigma but as a path to "enlightenment" and acceptance. Through this artistic endeavour, mental illness (there is no reason to avoid it or not address it) is not seen as a burden, but as a cornerstone for recognition and legitimization. On view at MAAT until 26 August. Sandro Resende Catarina Gomes Joana Simões Henriques 👏🏻
