Healing: Art & Institutional Care

August 20 - November 9

Healing: Art and Institutional Care is a group exhibition of contemporary and historic artworks that takes as its starting point the contested space of institutional care.

The exhibition draws from the Larundel Collection, and the unique Art Access Studio program led by artists at the former Larundel Mental Hospital (1953-1991), on what is now the grounds of La Trobe University (Bundoora Campus). Art Access Studio pioneered and challenged the ways in which art could be used therapeutically in psychiatric hospitals, shifting away from the artwork as a diagnostic tool, towards artmaking as an opportunity for self-directed healing.
