Mindscapes was an international cultural programme of the Wellcome Trust. It aimed to support a transformation in how we understand, address and talk about mental health.
Mindscapes brought together culture, communities, policy and research.
Priya Basil was Mindscapes' international writer-in-residence from 2021 to 2023. As part of her residency, she traveled to many places, including Kenya, Rwanda, Namibia, Chile, Japan, Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia, seeking out a range of diverse, surprising and specific perspectives and understandings of ‘mental health’, both contemporary and historic. She is now working on a book that draws on her research journey.
Priya continues to collaborate with Wellcome on their new Climate and Health cultural programme.
