The fifth episode of our Slow Memory podcast is now available on all major streaming platforms!

In this episode, we introduce Slow Memory in arts-based practices of care.

The episode features three pioneering arts-based practices from Argentina that generate significant, slow-moving transformations in mental health care. They promote the rights of people who experience mental suffering: the right to play, the right to dream, the right to be listened to, to be remembered. This is key, knowing that the memories of people with lived experiences of mental suffering are oftentimes the object of stigmatization and forgetting in society. The episode includes the voices and stories of people who are involved in this significant memory work, including Santiago Barugel (Hospital Infanto Juvenil Dra. Carolina Tobar García), Sonia Malva Basualdo (Colectivo Crisálida) and Daniel Degol (El cisne del arte).
