“There is Nothing Wrong with People, but you cannot self-love your way out of systemic oppression” (TiNWwP) is an artivist platform that looks at the intersection of mental health and social justice. While mainstream psychology too often individualises and depoliticises our mental health, TiNWwP explores the ways in which the personal is political, and the political is personal. It investigates the impact of social conditions and mechanisms of oppression on our well-being through workshops, performances and talks. At the heart of each edition lie personal stories and healing practices of people who experience the consequences of systemic oppression.
Throughout this program the audience is invited to participate actively in collective change and new codes of conduct, within and around ourselves. And last but not least: every single edition ends with a party infused by the best of Brussels DJ’s sharing their greatest tunes as we cultivate energy for joyful militancy!
This program is curated by Johanna Couvée and Bouchra Lamsyeh, and is a collaboration with Citylab Pianofabriek and many other inspiring partners in the cultural and mental health fields! It is created with the support of the Vlaamse Gemeenschap en de Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie.
