ALWAYS A WINNER
Deutsches hygeine-museum in dresden, Germany

Celebrating the small, everyday wins. Guests were invited to create their own medals with craft supplies.

 How are you? It’s more of a greeting than a question. And yet, sometimes we do answer. But finding an answer isn’t always straightforward — roughly one in four people will face a mental health issue during their lifetime. When are we still okay, and when do we start to lose our inner balance? Which outside factors trigger inner turmoil?

This exhibition brings together scientific insights on mental health with the personal experiences of people who have faced mental health challenges. It talks about how and where those affected can find help, and it examines the role of diagnoses, psychiatric medication and everyday coping strategies. 

Finally, the exhibition invites us to reflect on how we define “healthy” and “sick” and to consider how discrimination, loneliness, or wealth can shape our mental well-being.

Using artistic, media-based, interactive and playful approaches, the exhibition encourages visitors to delve deeper into a topic that touches us all – creating perspectives that take the question “How are you?” seriously.
