For this collaboration, Tiwi believed that whatever is good through social media and one of them is global mental health day celebration, can attract people especially millennials to be aware of the importance of maintaining the mental health of each individual.
“In this听talk show, we invited and educated people to become individuals who are aware of the importance of mental health in a more casual and preferable by the millennials,” she said.
In addition, continued Tiwi,听art exhibition听is an exhibition that combines elements of art and psychology.听There are several psychological methods through means of self-reflection.听For example, through a听dark room.听Visitors can express their feelings by shouting or spilling paint.
Then, the听visual room听was surrounded by quotes about mental health and several other visual arts.听There was a听screen room for screening short films about mental health.
Music Therapy, which is a room that has five different sound categories such as therapeutic instruments for people with schizophrenia.听And finally the听release room听for therapy releasing negative energy in the individual.
“Art exhibitions听and vent听corners are听places to reduce and let go of existing problems by daring people to tell their stories.听Because, when you are aware, individuals will be better able to realize when they feel different so they can maintain their own mental health, “he said.
“In addition,听wall of thoughts, visitors can share stories by writing them on the wall,” he added.
Tiwi hoped that the event can provide education to public, to help them maintaining mental health.听And, when they are able to maintain their mental health, they can become agents to remind or educate the importance of mental health to the surrounding community by not excluding their own health.听(*)
