How can we bring a museum to life? Can you imagine dancing in a museum, or doing yoga... using art as a source of inspiration and combining it with something very different!
3rd Lecture: Museums and Mental Health
Date: Thursday, 22.04.2021
Speaker: Lenia Georgiou, Artist and Art Therapist
In what ways can a museum help with our well-being? How can the museum as a space - as well as its exhibitions - function as a treatment to those suffering from chronic and mental illnesses? And how can someone benefit by having art therapy sessions in a museum?
Very often museums have large spaces and can offer a low-risk environment during a pandemic for example. In addition, studies have shown that a visit to a museum can help combat feelings of social isolation and stress. Frequent visits can help encourage the view of a museum as a welcoming space, helping in the development of expression, creativity and thought.
