Luiza Jesus do Prado · Theme

Decolonization and Mental Health

Colonial trauma · Memory · Madness · Necropolitics · Anti-asylum struggle · Ancestral healing

Mental health runs through Luiza Jesus do Prado's practice as a political and decolonial question. Her projects approach madness, trauma, memory and altered states not as pathology but as knowledge — linking the history of psychiatry, the anti-asylum struggle, public healthcare, spirituality and ancestral healing.
