Living with mental illness is a journey and a process. An emotional and physical roller-coaster that includes and involves loved ones, family and friends. In this artist talk, local fabric artist Cathie Ugrin presents her own experiences as a case study and talks about how the creation of her solo fibre art exhibit Feeling from Without and Within uses art as a release and a means to understanding.
January 30 is Bell Let’s Talk Day, a day designed to break the silence around mental health.
This talk is free. All welcome.
This event is presented by the Manitoba Craft Council and the Manitoba Crafts Museum and Library.
