Civil Society, Art and Mental Balance

According to surveys conducted by different concern groups in the past months, more and more Hongkongers find themselves under mental stress in the current political and pandemic situation. When seeking solutions to regain a healthy mental balance, we often tend to underestimate the importance of a holistic approach. It is hoped that through this programme series, a mental balance in connecting the mind, body, spirit and emotions could be met.
                                               
The programmes include an art exhibition by six Hong Kong artists, an artist talk and two curator- and artist-led guided tours to the exhibition, a panel discussion with mental health experts that welcomes questions from the audience, a pilates workshop, a body-mind-soul breath work workshop, an innovative VR programme that provides immersive relaxation through virtual reality as well as an online conversation with German author Thomas Melle on how he dealt with the disease bipolar disorder and his perception of the world as expressed in his award-winning literary work.
