We are thrilled to announce the ‘Marked by Insanity Project’. Born out of our conversations, experiences and practice, we attempt at detangling discourses around mental illness. We will be looking at the history, (mis)information, and systems of support that are interwoven to form the fabric of mental health awareness in the 21st century consciousness. With this, we hope to offer our contributions to the collective, ever evolving imagination of what care can be in today’s world. Curious to know more? Watch this space over the next few weeks!
