IAA Curated Exhibitions:
Local, National, and International
Mental illness has been on the rise in this country, and -- in the wake of a global pandemic, political strife, economic instability, and an uptick in violence -- symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in particular are all too common.
Despite all the talk in media and broader culture, and in many cases because of it, the public is still often at a loss when it comes to fully understanding mental health issues (see the abuse of the word "gaslighting" to take notes).
The IAA tries to act as a forum for those dealing with mental illness and PTSD to share their experiences and for experts to share their knowledge.
