More than 450 million people worldwide suffer from mental disorders, according to data of the World Health Organization. Bulgarians most often suffer from anxiety disorders (11.4%), depression (6.2%), substance abuse (3.3%). Prevention and attempts to stop the worsening of mental health problems is a particularly important topic that affects both women and men. Since men are less inclined to seek specialized help, the means of art come to help.
The photo exhibition “Hear My Voice” is an appeal to men to talk about their mental health and seek help, without the risk of being judged by society. With the help of a QR-code placed on the works by photographer Pavel Chervenkov, visitors to the Sofia gallery "Missia 23" have the opportunity to hear the voices of 7 popular figures in the spheres of music, poetry, sports, theater and visual arts. They speak about the issue, sharing personal stories that prove that despite their toughness, men can also be vulnerable.
