Visualizing Lies- Film Screening and Artist Talk Back
Join us for an evening of discussion and diving deeper into the “high functioning” exterior.
Visualizing Lies is a visual poem attacking the difficult topics of depression, anxiety, and overall mental health. The filmmaker’s goals were to help break mental health stigma within the Black community and shine a light on the experience beneath a ‘high functioning’ exterior.
