Ellen Reid in New York: SOUNDWALK
Pulitzer Prize-winner Ellen Reid has composed SOUNDWALK, a GPS-enabled work of public art that uses music to illuminate the environment and encourage calm reflection.
Mindscapes is an international cultural programme that aims to support a transformation in how we understand, address and talk about mental health.
Combining diverse perspectives and expertise, the programme – including artist residencies, a documentary, exhibitions and events – will be staged in a number of cities around the world. Our work will culminate in 2023.
Mindscapes brings together culture, communities, policy and research, and is informed and inspired by Wellcome's mental health programme.

Mindscapes has been developed by Wellcome in collaboration with:
