Colors & Minds

Colors & Minds is an experiential Artistic Program raising awareness in the Psychosocial Sector for Young People. It is organized by the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (ΕΜΣΤ), Association of Social Responsibility for Children and Youth (SKEP), Association for Regional Development and Mental Health (EPAPSY) and the voluntary artistic initiative Talks & Crafts. The goal is the deployment of visual arts to promote an understanding and acceptance of the world around us with the ultimate aim of creating a more friendly society for all. It will involve young people from the general population as well as recipients of mental health services. Inspired by Vlassis Caniaris’ work Hopscotch (1974), the participants are invited to use different artistic means (drawing, photography/video, sculpture, installation, performance) and text to experientially explore contemporary art through various conceptual aspects of the specific work.
