​

Exhibition UNHINGED 'On Jitterbugs, Melancholics and Mad Doctors'
 
The exhibition draws attention to the evolution and influence of power relations in psychiatry. It brings to the fore how imagination gives perspective and makes the invisible visible. Unhinged mixes unique pieces with compelling anecdotes, big theories with hidden testimonies. Objects, books, and the arts come and go. Rather than burying psychiatry in history, Unhingedemphasises the importance of mental health today.
The exhibition also includes photography from Roger Ballen.
 
Tickets will be available to purchase at registration (maximum of 80 tickets)
Cost: €15

Location: Museum Dr. Guislain
Jozef Guislainstraat 43b
