Improper Walls is proudly taking part in the campaign #NoOneToldMe for mental health awareness month. Improper Walls presents the group exhibition NO ONE TOLD ME, organized in collaboration with Made of Millions.
As art is an important tool to draw attention and communicate, we are happy to take this chance and focus on the treatment gap.
Through various media and their unique style, participating artists tell stories of their own or someone else’s struggle with mental health, share experiences and reflect on the healing process.

Short movie screening and artist talk: "JAPAN" by Dmitrij Ritter
1 in 4 people will be diagnosed with a mental disorder at some point in their lives. In 2020, that's roughly 1.9 billion people. But less than 40% will ever seek help, and those that do, spend an average of 10 years suffering in silence.
This mental health awareness month, modern advocacy nonprofit, Made of Millions, focused their efforts on the treatment gap — the long, avoidable years so many people spend suffering in silence. Launched the first week of May, the #NoOneToldMe campaign has quickly snowballed into a mini global movement, shedding light on the long lasting pain that stems from undiagnosed and untreated mental conditions. The campaign hopes to raise awareness of massive gaps in our education and mental healthcare sectors, and put pressure on changemakers to invest in much-needed reform.
Made of Millions is a grassroots mental health advocacy platform on a mission to change how the world perceives mental health.
Improper Walls is a cultural platform and alternative space. We support artists in realizing their vision, bring art to new eyes, and create awareness around matters that intrigue us.
