Beyond sadness and muses: Depression in Artists

PARTICIPATING SPEAKERS

Santiago Cruz

Luisa Piñeros

Dr. K Toi Washington-Simon

 Creative processes are fraught with the emotions of artists. There are entire albums that are offered as translations of universal feelings: joy, sadness, anger, pain. However, beyond the cliché about inspiration, the dynamics of the music industry and the present of the world have fueled the conversation around mental health and illness from the artists' point of view. 

Together with artists and authors, we trace a path to understand how music is a stage for the translation and demystification of mental health.
