World Mad Pride Biennale 2010 Opening Night Reception: Fri July 2, 7-10pm In celebration of International Mad Pride Day on July 14th, 2010, Gallery Gachet continues its bi-annual tradition of honouring, by way of a month-long arts and education festival, this historic but little-known social change movement founded by psychiatric activists in the 1970s. As an arts collective whose mandate advances art and healing as a path to social and economic justice, Gallery Gachet embraces Mad Pride as a unique vantage point from which to address current world issues in an alternative framework: that of cultural and global mental health. This year's biennale, "ECO Madness!!! Or... Humans Are Killing the Planet and I Feel Fine," engages the concept of ecopsychology: an emerging field of study that criticizes mainstream psychology for ignoring social, and especially ecological, determinants of mental health. Through art, film, theatre, music and educational events throughout the month of July, Gallery Gachet aims to create a safe and radical (literal meaning: "root") space for a total creative FREAK OUT over what humans are doing to the Earth and to ourselves. "The context for defining sanity in our time has reached planetary magnitude." -Theodore Roszak, "Where Psyche Meets Gaia" highlights: July 2: Opening Night Reception Gallery Gachet 7-10pm July 7: Vancouver Premier!
