Art work titled «L'histoire de la guérison par l'art» by pōk Collective at Kursaal Bern for Gesundheitsförderung Schweiz, adressing the potentials of art and healing in institutional settings. Narrated by Juno Wela, performed by the anonymous artists of pōk.
The exhibition “Behind Your Mask” dared to explore the many facets of our everyday faces – and what remains hidden benath them. The vernissage called attention to the metaphorical masks we wear on a daily basis, in an attempt to mirror societal norms. The participatory program at Kraftwerk Zürich was accompanied by performances of the dance group Les Papillons and a panel discussion on the topic of “Mental Health Behind The Mask” with members from the Madnesst collective.
