The social impact of using art to increase civic participation of young people

The Taboo Workshop Make the Invisible Visible used freely reusable public domain artworks as a conversation-starter among young people taking part in the Young People's Meeting in Copenhagen 6-8 September 2018. The Young People's Meeting attracts more than 30,000 youngsters every year. In a collaboration with six NGO's, the workshop invited participants to create visual expressions of the difficult emotions that are shared across mental and physical disorders, by discussing, clipping, and remixing artworks from the SMK collection.
