Introducing Diverge collaboration with Under the Skin — Healing through revealing: where shades of life emerge, diverge, and surge to healing, a project led by Yolanda Li on the mental health of Asian international students.
For too long, we forget to listen to ourselves. For too long, the “system” helps without asking what we need. This project hopes to help people heal in different ways by inviting and listening to community members to reveal what really matters to them.
Through a series of interviews, spotlight stories, collective toolkits, and outspoken artworks, we will see the diversity and strength of the community and form a collective understanding, respect, and striving for what the community values and needs in mental health.
This revealing and healing process is empathetic, where we see our interconnections and interdependence through our wellness and unwellness, where we come to joint actions towards our shared aspiration of living a good mental health. This revealing and healing process is justice, where we provide a channel for them to speak, to be listened, and to be understood as they should, where we support them to fulfill their mental health needs as they expect, where we empower them to become the active agents of changes in their life, community, and culture as they can.
