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\n4\, 18 April \n\n2\, 16\, 30 May \n\n13\, 27 June\n\n 11\, 2
 5 July \n\n1 August\n\nTime: 6.30 to 8.00pm\n\n\n\nYou are invited to take
  part in an art project about mental health. In fortnightly sessions at Ch
 isenhale Gallery in Bow\, starting on the 21st of February\, you will work
  with artist ‘the vacuum cleaner’\, Cecilia Wee and an inspiring group
  of activists. Together\, you will begin to imagine what a London-wide pro
 gramme of art for mental health could be.\n\nYou need zero experience in m
 aking art. There is zero pressure to do anything you don’t want to do. A
 ll you need is a willingness to listen to and support each other. And you 
 will be paid for your time.\n\nAbout the project\n\nTogether\, we will exp
 lore the question: “How can young people with mental health struggles be
 come leaders in art-making and mental health change (without all the stres
 s)?” \n\nWe will do this by spending time together to feel safe\, lettin
 g our radical imagination flourish\, and having big dreams about how artis
 ts and art spaces could better support you. It will also be silly and irre
 verent. 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 sh
 are what you have imagined\, what you have made\, and the ways you have wo
 rked together at Whitechapel Gallery. What will this look like? We will fi
 gure this out together.\n\nKey Information\n\n 	2.8 Million Minds is open 
 to young people who have experienced struggles with their mental health\, 
 and young carers.\n 	This project is for people aged 16-25 who live in Tow
 er Hamlets and surrounding areas.\n 	You will be paid the London Living Wa
 ge (£12p/h) for your time. We will also cover costs relating to travel on
  public transport.\n 	The sessions will take place fortnightly from 6:30-8
  PM\, starting on Tuesday 21st of February\, at Chisenhale Gallery in Bow 
 (address below). You do not need to attend all of the sessions.\n\nIf you

 ested\, contact Seth at: seth.pimlott@chisenhale.org.uk or on 07557384717
