Phenomenology: A Film Screening Night Exploring Mental Health

As part of Creativity & Wellbeing Week in 2024 Arts & Health Hub will be hosting a film screening night of up to 10 short films that explore lived experiences of mental health. This event is part of their commitment to supporting artists that are exploring lived experience in their work, prompting dialogues around physical and mental health and how the arts can help us both serve as a form of individual creative expression and better understand the lives of others.

• What do we mean by lived experience?
• Can lived experience be thought of in a different way, perhaps as a form of alternative intelligence?
• What if we considered our lived experiences not just as something that are often the result of distress or illness, but as unique insights and knowledge that enable us to show others what it means to feel how we feel and live how we live?
