Many Faces of Our Mental Health

Display period: 2017-2018

 

Impact Upon Exhibition Trend:

Many Faces is likely the first exhibition focused upon mental health education and awareness to be displayed by a major American museum. Developed in a collaboration between MOS, Boston, artist Lynda Cuttrell, Dr. Bruce Cohen (former president of McLean Hospital), and others. Christine Reich of MOS, Boston explains the goal of Many Faces was not to fill visitors with information. Instead, the goal was to change visitor “affect and feeling” – helping those who experience mental illness to feel belonging and fullness of identity, and helping others develop empathy.
