Stigmas, taboos and shame in AnnaLeena Prykäri's BFA solo exhibition at Konstfack
In her practice AnnaLeena Prykäri explores mental illnesses in society and the person behind a diagnosis. Silenced, ignored and marginalized topics are discussed from personal and emotional viewpoints. She intends to embody the person behind a label in order to displace and highlight the stigmas, taboos and shame associated with mental illness; from the pharmacy shelves to the daily discussions.
