Reading and conversation

The editors Diana Mammana and Margareta von Oswald will introduce the evening and present their curatorial work and approaches with regard to these questions. The subsequent reading gives an insight into discussions and practices around mental health between the years 2021 and 2022 in Berlin. Various people who contributed to the book will read passages from their texts. The reading will be followed by an exchange and a conversation with the audience.
The book is published in the context of the exhibition YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal, which took place at the Gropius Bau from September 2022 to January 2023. The Resonant Museum brings people from science, culture, politics and activist contexts into dialogue about mental health. The publication was produced as part of a cooperation between the Gropius Bau and Mindscapes, the international programme on mental health of the British Wellcome Trust.
