On World Mental Health Day, 25 Lagos art students paint what words can't say about stress and hope

Twenty-five art students at Yaba College of Technology spent two days (Oct 2-3) in a 'What We Carry: Stories of Mental Health and Resilience' workshop run by the Yemisi Shyllon Museum of Art and the Art for Health Initiative. With a psychiatrist, a public health strategist and art facilitators, they explored stress, grief, family pressure and hope through painting and storytelling - ahead of World Mental Health Day on Oct 10. Their works will form a public micro-exhibition in Lagos in November.
