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\n13\, 27 June\n\n 11\, 25 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 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 be
 gin to imagine what a London-wide programme of art for mental health could
  be.\n\nYou need zero experience in making art. There is zero pressure to 
 do anything you don’t want to do. All you need is a willingness to liste
 n 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 p
 eople with mental health struggles become leaders in art-making and mental
  health change (without all the stress)?” \n\nWe will do this by spendin
 g time together to feel safe\, letting our radical imagination flourish\, 
 and having big dreams about how artists and art spaces could better suppor
 t you. It will also be silly and irreverent. We aim to bring a group of yo
 ung 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 ways you have worked together at Whitechapel Gallery.
  What will this look like? We will figure this out together.\n\nKey Inform
 ation\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 Tower Hamlets and surrounding areas.\n 	
 You will be paid the London Living Wage (£12p/h) for your time. We will a
 lso cover costs relating to travel on public transport.\n 	The sessions wi
 ll take place fortnightly from 6:30-8 PM\, starting on Tuesday 21st of Feb
 ruary\, at Chisenhale Gallery in Bow (address below). You do not need to a
 ttend all of the sessions.\n\nIf you’d like to take part\, to hear more\

 llion Minds (so-called because there are 2.8 million young people in Londo
 n)\, a programme run by some artists\, disabled people\, art spaces and so
 me folks from the Mayor of London’s culture team.\n\nIt began in 2022\,
