ASYLUM TO ACTIVISM Readings and Photo Exhibit
Thursday November 6th, 4:30pm – 7:30pm
Gallery Gachet as a part of the Heart of the City Festival
Digging into history can unearth surprising treasures. Come down to Gallery Gachet and view two unique sets of archival images that document mad history in the deinstitutionalization era. One box of photographs was discovered in a Vancouver bedroom closet, while a photographer who chronicled the vanishing world of the asylum left the second box. The evening also features author readings from the new collection Mad Matters: A Critical Reader in Canadian Mad Studies, an anthology of writings on contemporary mental health by activists, survivors and scholars. An evening program of “After the Asylum? Legacies of Community Mental Health” conference presented by SFU’s Centre for the Study of Gender, Social Inequities and Mental Health. Everyone welcome.
