presentation of Art brut, bruta tu 100mg

by Fátima Masoud

We present Art brut, bruta tú, 100mg a medicine in the form of a publication that questions the logics with which we approach mental health and its relationship with the art world.

Art brut, bruta tú, 100mg is part of the result of the research project ¿cómo conseguimos que nos dejen en paz?, which took place in La Escocesa during the year 2023 and whose ultimate goal is to make a film about the Mad Pride movement in the world. The project is conceived as an experimental and collaborative research on collective work processes and methodologies for transmaribibollo, artistic and community health projects. These processes use assemblies in chosen, intimate and self-managed mixity as a transversal method of reflection, decision making and production.

The book was produced and printed in the risography workshop of La Escocesa by Marian Vélez, with text and drawings by Fatima Masoud and designed by Valentina Alvarado Matos.
