Abstract

This piece discusses how a community arts exhibition produced by a group of mental health service users can be a form of knowledge production.  With the potential benefits of reduced stigma and emancipation for those involved, whether exhibiting or interacting with the exhibits. I would like to encourage service users and clinicians to jointly explore how “beyond text” media, including art, can be co- produced together as part of group work to inform and supplement more traditional forms of knowledge and research.
