be crazy and poor
besides, only here today we are going to talk about
art and mental health
if I tell them to describe the look
of a child or that draws on the face of
a loved one
they immediately appear in us
images charged with affectivity with
those images charged with affectivity
We are going to work because I am going to do them
a proposal
and is that they draw their own look
today you have at the entrance they have
given a sachet is taken in the sachet
please
there they have a blank page and a
pen found this one the sheet in
white and the pen are going to draw their
look today as is your look today is a
piercing incisive happy look
it’s a look in love he drew the
format of my eyes draw what draw
what the format of my eyes of each of
you your iris your pupil your eyelashes
his eyebrows as is my look today to see
these eyes these lashes these eyebrows
but above all the intention in the
look
that’s what counts today we all feel
the empty in front of the blank sheet
we all feel that emptiness that we do
now
we all feel the emptiness in front of the sheet
blank but there is also a whole
possibility that unfolds to bring
Loaded images of affected experiences
resonances and stories because in the
history of mankind
there have always been images images
they accompany us from 40 thousand before
Christ in the Upper Palaeolithic
art allows us to be this
we are today
sensitive men and women and that
we can look from a perception
aesthetic but you will wonder why
art and mental health because when
we talk about mental health
the first words that appear are
health-disease suffering
impossibility especially in possibility
and what we can do is
prove after so many years of
work on our device is that the
art enables us and equals us because
we can work with another language that
it is not necessarily the word we
we can work from the body from
the movement from the texture of the
image from the color
then multiplies the senses
kan art also favors and
makes it possible to create something that does not exist
outside the filmmaker the person takes the
reality and transform transforms the
reality and it is transformed and the art
it also allows us to go through the
btr barrier to get into the
look here today I’m going to talk to you about a
extension project of the university
national sea of silver called
collective chrysalis art mental health e
Community intervention
this project who about 10 years
approximately
why because it allows to show the
problematic of mental suffering and
situation of vulnerability of
people who have it
frank basaglia italian psychiatrist
he wrote a book called the
condemnation of being crazy and poor and we to
that
paraphrasing it at the beginning of the
talk we added yes alone because the
most of the people with whom
we work or do not have a family
continent or are protected by the
judicial power or are in a situation of
social or family vulnerability or
collective economic chrysalis is
conformed is built
We are a group of professionals and
students in an interdisciplinary way
of the fields of art and health
mental
Chrysalis comes from the Greek Christos
which means gold as a metaphor because
it is inside the person where
a whole transformation process happens
to become the butterfly that will emerge
we work with gold with the
power with the personal treasure from
the different artistic workshops what
what is done is put into play
creative those powers those
possibilities that we all have and here
I ask you a question what happens when
nobody sees us
we know that we are built and of
built from the look that happens
when a person is only his story
clinic or it’s just your diagnosis or your
impossibility that happens in the
subjectivity and a person
invisibilized and returning to
images that you have in your hands
please raise your own looks
drawn like this if they hold the in
the hand to this is in the encounter with
look of the other that built me
I sustain and I became visible returning to the
look at our own already
what does it say about us that it clears and that
reflects and now I ‘m going to ask you for another
please more than raise your eyes and be the
pass to the partner on the right to pass
the look at is already
so we all have a new look at
this great very well right left
it can also be for anyone
this new look that says about us
that clears and that reflects and here we
we can draw parallels with art
because art also allows
reflect us mirror us and transform us
and also see the transformation of a
person
the story of juan juan arrived
approximately two years for the
month of July came down from a truism
accompanied by his wife and his two
children
well it came to short steps did not raise
at the foot of the floor
his body was balanced and his voice was
much humor his wife took him from the
one arm arm
his son from the other and from the back the
another son
So he arrived and they told us his story
because he could not do it
joan a poor man
without resources with depression entering a
psychiatric institution talking and
walking and leaves after eight months in
wheelchair and babbling and here
question what happens when the medical power
hegemonic is exercised over someone who
can not defend a person who
he painted that he wrote that he had his fifth
ends transformed into a shadow of what
that was in a vacuum of their
potentialities is that there are practices
abusive they use today are bad
practices
these abusive practices that they use
today the medication as a vest
chemical and they do not see the other as a subject
but as an object we can also say
that there is next-generation medication
out there with fewer side effects
yes but they are not accessible for
vulnerable people and today neither the
transportation is accessible for
vulnerable people
we did not know if we were going to be able to
help juan we did not know
we did not know if our device and goes
to be useful to him but we saw him we saw his
look your eyes alive and smart and
We decided to try
It is clear that we work in a
cultural center recovered from the city
of the sea of silver called america free
that we operate on a first floor that
to climb you have to climb two stairs
steep then we had built
a device that a wooden chair
where Juan sat and between four
they went up like in the digital gold
initially his body was swaying and
then in the body space began to
Take short steps accompanied by a
coordinator in each arm and then by
one and then held the pencil with his
hand
the pulse took hold and he could paint and a
day he wrote a text and another day you read it
or and another are river
and that is that art makes possible
empowerment
we talk about an art that excites and that
Transforms our device appears
as a desiring machine when saying
philosopher of the is that establishes lines of
creative escape and in those lines of flight
we work and we also work
in the construction of new looks
like the ones you have in your hands
and it’s from the art from the practices
concrete artistic that is built in
healthier ways of resistance already
