SUMMARY:2.8 Million Minds
DESCRIPTION:CHISENHALE GALLERY and WHITECHAPEL GALLERY invite YOU to take p
 art in An art project about mental health.\n\nJoin 2.8 Million Minds!!\n\n
 “2.8 Million Minds is about helping young people to create an image of t
 hriving on their own terms. This is an invitation to recognise the serious
 ness of the situation\, but also the joy of coming together and taking act
 ion” - A young artist on 2.8 Million Minds\n\n\n\nThe dates of the works
 hops are: \n\n25 July\n\n1 August\n\nTime: 6.30 to 8.00pm\n\n\n\nYou are i
 nvited to take part in an art project about mental health. In fortnightly 
 sessions at Chisenhale Gallery in Bow\, starting on the 21st of February\,
  you will work with artist ‘the vacuum cleaner’\, Cecilia Wee and an i
 nspiring group of activists. Together\, you will begin to imagine what a L
 ondon-wide programme of art for mental health could be.\n\nYou need zero e
 xperience in making art. There is zero pressure to do anything you don’t
  want to do. All you need is a willingness to listen to and support each o
 ther. And you will be paid for your time.\n\nAbout the project\n\nTogether
 \, we will explore the question: “How can young people with mental healt
 h struggles become leaders in art-making and mental health change (without
  all the stress)?” \n\nWe will do this by spending time together to feel
  safe\, letting our radical imagination flourish\, and having big dreams a
 bout how artists and art spaces could better support you. It will also be 
 silly and irreverent. We aim to bring a group of young people together and
  support them to change what isn’t working.\n\nAt the end of this proces
 s\, we will share what you have imagined\, what you have made\, and the wa
 ys you have worked together at Whitechapel Gallery. What will this look li
 ke? We will figure this out together.\n\nKey Information\n\n 	2.8 Million 
 Minds is open to young people who have experienced struggles with their me
 ntal health\, and young carers.\n 	This project is for people aged 16-25 w
 ho live in Tower Hamlets and surrounding areas.\n 	You will be paid the Lo
 ndon Living Wage (£12p/h) for your time. We will also cover costs relatin
 g to travel on public transport.\n 	The sessions will take place fortnight
 ly from 6:30-8 PM\, starting on Tuesday 21st of February\, at Chisenhale G
 allery in Bow (address below). You do not need to attend all of the sessio
 ns.\n\nIf you’d like to take part\, to hear more\, or know someone who m
 ight be interested\, contact Seth at: seth.pimlott@chisenhale.org.uk or on

 llion Minds? \n\nThis new project is part of 2.8 Million Minds (so-called 
 because there are 2.8 million young people in London)\, a programme run by
  some artists\, disabled people\, art spaces and some folks from the Mayor
  of London’s culture team.\n\nIt began in 2022\, and here are some examp
 les of what has happened so far. \n\nAccess\n\nIf you have any access requ
