Exhibition: Reflections
Framer Framed cordially invites you to Reflections, the 14th annual exhibition of i-psy Arts – an organisation specialising in intercultural psychiatry. The i-psy community-based in Amsterdam has been working at Framer Framed as the Open Atelier for the past two years. This year, together with the Amsterdam group, i-psy’s Utrecht, Arnhem and Almere locations will showcase a range of works reflecting on identity, resilience, community care and alternative methods of healing.
The Open Atelier is a collaborative project with i-psy Arts Amsterdam that has been going on since the beginning of 2020. The community consists of migrant artists. Every Monday, the group meets at Framer Framed to experiment with various forms of art. The Open Atelier provides art therapy and alternative methods of healing and care under the guidance of art therapist Suzanne Delshadian and her team. Apart from giving a space and tools for the artists, the project opens up a space for community-building and solidarity. Through organising annual exhibitions at Framer Framed, the participants are encouraged to display their art publicly; thus, making an important shift from private to public.
Due to major cuts in psychiatric funds in the Netherlands, the Amsterdam location of i-psy will shut its doors, and the art therapy program, which had been going on for fourteen years will, unfortunately, come to an end. Thus, this year’s group show is particularly important for the community, in which they will showcase various collaborative and individual artworks. Sebastian Rypson, the curator of the first-ever i-psy exhibition is the curator for Reflections, which can be visited from 24 June until 24 July at Framer Framed.
The works will be exhibited in Rozet in Arnhem from 23 September to 15 December 2022, together with a wider collection coming from other i-psy locations. Read more

ABOUT
i-psy is a specialist in intercultural psychiatry for people with different social and cultural backgrounds and various psychological problems. Since 2009 the visual therapy team of i-psy organises an exhibition every year for and with artists from the open studios.
Framer Framed is a platform for contemporary art, visual culture, and critical theory & practice.
