Millennium Fellowship Project: De-stigmatization of Mental Illness
Our project aims to help mental patients to remove stigma, stereotypes and reduce inequality they face in daily life. We mainly advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being and SDG Goal 10.2: Promoting Universal Social, Economic and Political Inclusion by creating spaces to engage in mental health conversations through art. We will use the form of mental illness art exhibitions to show the inner world of mental patients, to help people know about mental patients. The art exhibition is divided into two parts, namely, the portrait of deceased celebrities with mental illness and the works of deceased celebrities with mental illness. We aim to let students understand the prevalence of mental illness and the inner world of patients in the past and present. The exhibition will be synchronously carried out in many university campuses, university-enterprise cooperation training bases, and commercial centers near universities. We will use QR codes generated from Qualtrics to count the number of participants and provide explanations of the exhibits.
