The Dust of Everyday Life closing session
from SMHAF Podcast · host Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival
On 26 March 2015 the Mental Health Foundation staged The Dust of Everyday Life, a conference at the CCA in Glasgow designed to ask challenging questions about the relationship between mental health and the arts. The findings will help to shape future editions of the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival, as we prepare for our tenth programme in 2016. The Dust of Everyday Life consisted of a series of panel discussions touching on film, TV, theatre, photography, and writing, as well as stigma, social justice and raising awareness. For the closing session, rather than plan anything in advance we invited the audience to direct the discussion, with occasional responses from Lee Knifton (head of Mental Health Foundation Scotland), Judith Robertson (programme director, See Me) and Dr Peter Byrne (consultant psychiatrist and visiting professor at University of Strathclyde). The session was chaired by Andrew Eaton-Lewis from the Mental Health Foundation.
