The Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Museum of Art and Photography in Bangalore, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, and the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin are currently participating in the "Mindscapes" project which seeks to integrate cultural reflections into conversations about mental health
According to the World Health Organization, nearly one in eight people in the world lives with a mental health disorder. The situation is such that many international museums are rethinking their missions in an attempt to address this social issue.
This is the case of the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the Museum of Art and Photography in Bangalore, the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, and the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin. These four museums are currently participating in the "Mindscapes" project, launched in February by the British charitable foundation, Wellcome. The Hamwe Festival in Rwanda and the Los Angeles Public Library are also taking part in this extensive year-long program, which seeks to integrate cultural reflections into conversations about mental health.
