THE theme of “revolution” has been hailed a success by organisers at the Scottish Mental
The festival will host its final performances today after nearly three weeks of events celebrating the relationship between mental health and the arts across Scotland.
“A particular highlight from that opening day was a newly commissioned piece. We commissioned three creative provocations which were the headline acts in our opening event, and one of those was by Imogen Stirling and Sonia Killman, who we commissioned a new performance piece from called The Boulders We Carry which brings the myth of Sisyphus into present-day Glasgow.
The opening event, Manifesto, was a day-long series of performances and activities exploring the question: “What does a mental health revolution look like? And how do we start one?”.He said: “The festival aims to give everyone a platform to create and share art inspired by mental health.
“Events take place all over Scotland, from right up in Wick down to Dumfries and Galloway, so there are events taking place all over the country. “We have our national planning group which really has that reach and engagement with communities all across Scotland – which is such an essential part of our festival.which have come and learned from them and used that model for themselves as well, so it’s something that has always been a really important part of our identity.”
