ともに双極症障害やうつ病を抱えてきたことを公表し、その経験を創作活動の重要な基盤としてアートや音楽表現に昇華させてきたアレクサ・クミコ・ハタナカと和田彩花。本トークでは互いの経験や前橋での活動をシェアしつつ、当事者の視点からメンタルヘルスとアートの関係について掘り下げていきます。

As artists who have publicly shared personal stories of living with bipolar disorder and depression, Alexa Kumiko Hatanaka and Ayaka Wade have channeled their experiences into artistic and musical expression, turning them into a vital source for creative work. In this talk, they speak of their respective journeys and activities in Maebashi and explore the relationship between mental health and art from the standpoint of their own lived experience.
