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\n21 March \n\n4\, 18 April \n\n2\, 16\, 30 May \n\n13\, 27 Ju
 ne\n\n 11\, 25 July \n\n1 August\n\nTime: 6.30 to 8.00pm\n\n\n\nYou are in
 vited to take part in an art project about mental health. In fortnightly s
 essions at Chisenhale Gallery in Bow\, starting on the 21st of February\, 
 you will work with artist ‘the vacuum cleaner’\, Cecilia Wee and an in
 spiring group of activists. Together\, you will begin to imagine what a Lo
 ndon-wide programme of art for mental health could be.\n\nYou need zero ex
 perience 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 ot
 her. 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 health
  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 ab
 out how artists and art spaces could better support you. It will also be s
 illy 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 process
 \, we will share what you have imagined\, what you have made\, and the way
 s you have worked together at Whitechapel Gallery. What will this look lik
 e? We will figure this out together.\n\nKey Information\n\n 	2.8 Million M
 inds is open to young people who have experienced struggles with their men
 tal health\, and young carers.\n 	This project is for people aged 16-25 wh
 o live in Tower Hamlets and surrounding areas.\n 	You will be paid the Lon
 don Living Wage (£12p/h) for your time. We will also cover costs relating
  to travel on public transport.\n 	The sessions will take place fortnightl
 y from 6:30-8 PM\, starting on Tuesday 21st of February\, at Chisenhale Ga
