Description

This presentation introduces an art-based research project from McGill University in Montréal, Canada, wherein female filmmakers suffering from mental health issues were asked to make films about them. The goal was to see if films generate a different knowledge than usual scientific approaches to mental health. The methodology developed was successful in generating works of art, producing research findings, and providing evidence that research developed by means of a collaboration between artists and traditional researchers is possible.
