Art as a way of communicating and raising awareness about mental health Art holds an exceptional ability to transcend linguistic and cultural boundaries, offering an impactful medium for communicating and raising awareness about mental health. This research explores the intersection of art and mental health through the lens of pathosformel — evocative formulas that evoke collective human experiences. Drawing on the principles of Integral Human Development, the study contextualizes artistic expression within a framework of integral ecology, emphasizing interconnectedness and sustainability in curatorial practices. By exploring socially engaged art projects, the research highlights how artistic interventions can foster empathy, destigmatize social “peripheries” issues, and inspire transformative dialogue within communities. Curating becomes an act of care, balancing aesthetics and advocacy while promoting a sustainable economy rooted in social responsibility. The findings underscore the potential of art as a communicative tool to bridge individual and collective well-being, aligning artistic endeavors with the goals of a just, inclusive, and ecologically balanced society.
