Описание: Outsider art reflects the lived realities of people on the margins—many of whom have experienced addiction, trauma, or social exclusion. Created outside formal art systems, outsider art can be a raw form of self-expression and survival, offering individuals a way to process pain, identity, and recovery when other supports are limited or unavailable. While addiction is not a prerequisite for outsider art, the two intersect where unmet mental health needs, isolation, and stigma exist—making creative expression both a coping strategy and, at times, a powerful bridge to healing, connection, and prevention-focused conversations.
