With rising suicide and depression rates, each passing moment you have with someone could make all the difference in their lives. We tend to think that we have a lot of time to get to know someone, but if all you have is 10 minutes, how do you reach out to them, knowing that these 10 minutes might be the difference between life and death?
Visit a mental health art exhibition, “ThisConnect: Threading Worlds”, put together by local artist duo Hunny and Lummy. The multimedia exhibition will feature 7 bodies of works which meditate on stories from your fellow Singaporeans of personal truths of pain, loss and vulnerability that are too often unheard and unsaid.
The works challenge the audience members to think about these questions: Beneath the hustle and bustle of city life, what is the rhythm that really moves us? Beneath the elaborate sights and sounds we construct, what stories do we really want to tell? Beneath the fragile harmony we hold, what is the void that exists between, and within us?
During this exhibition, witness and observe first-hand, for yourself, how you can hold space and connect to someone so deeply that nobody feels left alone, left behind, with nobody to turn to for support.
