Mental Health Arts Space

is an independent arts/project space in Berlin that centres the importance of mental health.

Our Projects

Together in collaboration with artists, curators, collectives and independent art spaces globally, we aim to create spaces of encounter, dialogue, sharing and empowerment.

Our events

Via exhibitions, workshops, artist talks, film screenings, reading groups, performances and other discursive formats, MHAS aims to strengthen connections, build community spirit and share knowledge and resources, particularly among artists and creatives from the Global Majority (BIPOC and migrant individuals).

Our Founder

Kathy-Ann Tan is a Berlin-based independent curator, writer and researcher from Singapore. Kathy-Ann’s practice revolves around creating spaces for dialogue, sharing and empowerment for BIPoC and marginalized communities in the arts and cultural scenes in Berlin and beyond. As a former full-time academic, she has extensive experience in teaching, research, publishing, facilitating workshops and public speaking. She is available for talks, workshops and one-on-one consultation sessions.
