This video, curated by Luigi Starace, known as Luistar, is a representation of the creative approach to combating "Social Stigma" related to mental health through the art of Mail Art. Created in the biennium 2005/2007 and exhibited during the VI Independent Film Festival of Foggia in 2007, the video explores the complexity of the "Stigma" theme, which represents a primary obstacle in the treatment of mental illnesses, generating prejudices and a vicious cycle.
The video is divided into two distinct parts. The first part features a videoblob constructed from fragments of films dealing with the themes of psychiatry and diversity, edited together following the words of Erasmus of Rotterdam.
This section is characterized by a touch of irony emphasized by a multi-style soundtrack.
The second part of the video collects around 200 Mail Art works from around the world, framed within vintage footage dating back to the 1940s in the United States, showing the reality of asylums from that period.
Second part of the video delves into the theme from both an artistic and contemporary perspective and a historical-social perspective.
In the video, the soundtrack includes thematic tracks, including "Sognando," which, despite censorship in a past edition of the Sanremo Festival, still holds strong relevance today, challenging songs considered socially conscious and successful.
Ultimately, "Mail Art Stigma" represents an important artistic exploration of the concept of "Social Stigma" in relation to mental health, encouraging reflection on social perception and the importance of art as a tool for raising awareness and fighting prejudice.
