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\n30 May \n\n13\, 27 June\n\n 11\, 25 July \n\n1 August\n\nTim
 e: 6.30 to 8.00pm\n\n\n\nYou are invited to take part in an art project ab
 out 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 inspiring group of activists. Together\, 
 you will begin to imagine what a London-wide programme of art for mental h
 ealth could be.\n\nYou need zero experience in making art. There is zero p
 ressure to do anything you don’t want to do. All you need is a willingne
 ss to listen to and support each other. 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 about how artists and art spaces could be
 tter 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 wor
 king.\n\nAt the end of this process\, we will share what you have imagined
 \, what you have made\, and the ways you have worked together at Whitechap
 el Gallery. What will this look like? We will figure this out together.\n\

 xperienced struggles with their mental health\, and young carers.\n 	This
