Narratives of Mental Illness in Namibia

Dr Mattia Fumanti has worked collaboratively with mental health practitioners and artists, engaging patients and their families on living with mental illness in Namibia. This collaboration was part of a Wellcome Trust Seed Award entitled ‘Narratives of Mental Illness in Contemporary Namibia’ (2016-2018). The project explored patients and family centred accounts in the postcolonial present, while disclosing continuities and discontinuities with the postcolonial past.
