This interactive workshop explores the challenges and possibilities that emerge when visual anthropologists engage with ideas and experiences associated with mental health – and, in particular, when they seek to realise transformation and generate impact. Using examples from a two decade long project in the South Pacific archipelago of Tonga (The Healer and the Psychiatrist) and recent student films on mental health in the UK from the University of Kent, this workshop will consider the effects on protagonists, filmmakers and audiences.
This workshop is hosted in collaboration with University of Kent
