Beautiful Distress is an exhibition space that uses art to promote greater understanding and compassion for people with mental vulnerability. Most of them experience exclusion and their problems are surrounded by taboos. This affects their own lives and society as a whole. Art speaks to our emotions and intellect; it can make us see things differently and make us aware of our own prejudices. This is what all the art visible at Beautiful Distress is focused on.
