ART AND MENTAL DISORDER
Theme: The Cultural Association and psychosocial research organization PSICOTREX is a non-profit that has among its objectives, the promotion of art as a way of integrating the different groups at risk of social exclusion.

We believe that artistic creation is a very valuable tool to improve our quality of life, alternative communication systems and facilitate the balance of mind. That is why we as an association aim to investigate these matters and ask the cooperation of all those creators who feel identified with this proposal, as well as institutions, organizations and institutions working in this field, in order to achieve an artistic background and documentary that it can work and provide a basis for future research.
