This exhibition explores notions of madness, mental distress, and healing through comics and zines. In the exhibition, comics and zines artists from India and Finland present narratives that are both personal and political. These works reveal how injustice and oppression shape our minds and explore acts of care, resistance, and moments of joy in times of struggle. The exhibition is supported by Taike, Finnish Comics Society, and the MadEnCounters project.
