EXHIBITION FEEDBACK


 
 

“The one exhibit which intrigued me the most was ‘The Asylum’ ...it clearly speaks about how the mentally ill people were treated in the olden times in different parts of India”

- Debdatta Mandal, visitor 

“Andrew's installation [‘Change My Mind’] on neural implants was brilliant! It's one thing to be aware that innovation comes with benefits and uncertainties but it was interesting to see what that feeling looks like. The different perspectives of students on their art made me realise that healing involves risk and sometimes, you lose a part of yourself in the process, for the good or bad.”

- Shriya Naidu, visitor

“‘Black Men's Minds’ is an engaging and thought-provoking audio-visual installation that seeks to understand and offer insights about masculinity, race, and mental health.”

- Ayesha T, visitor

“The limits of communication, of words, and even of images. I was struck by how the exhibit ‘McGill Pain Questionnaire’ showed that there are so many ways in which pain can be untranslatable.”

- Kevin James, visitor


 
 

"The session was amazing! I enjoyed every single moment of it! I was blown away by the exhibits 'The Asylum' and 'Black Men's Minds'! Overall, today's session was really informative and helped me learn a lot about the things apart from the field I have chosen. I wish the session was much longer so we could have explored the Exhibit with everyone even more.”

I found Kapila’s ideas about psychoanalysis in India and the divide between science and religion very refreshing. I enjoyed that she presented her ideas in a way where she was trying to think about and offer a perspective into what seems to be happening today vis-a-vis psychoanalysis.
