JOURNEY INTO THE MINDS is the first ever public exhibition in Malaysia of works by psychiatric patients who underwent art therapy to get to the root of their psychological afflictions. The works, which range widely in scope, technique and subject matter, are as much works of artistic expressions as they are portraits of troubled states of mind. The exhibition is organised and curated by the Department Of Psychological Medicine, Faculty Of Medicine at University Of Malaya, in conjunction with World Mental Health Day 2008, to highlight mental health issues. The exhibition will be officiated on the opening day Fri 10 October at 10am, with speeches by notable speakers and a slide show. Throughout the exhibition period, there will be interactive sessions for members of the public. Check below for the time schedule of the sessions.
