The exhibition at the Harvard University Asia Center explores the intersection of art, disability, and mental health by displaying original works on paper and sculptures created by ten groundbreaking, self-taught artists from China and Japan. Their compelling, formally innovative artworks come in a wide range of styles and media, from gestural abstractions and proliferating figurations, to meticulous clay obelisks and eye-popping wall paintings.The first exhibition of works produced in art workshops for people with disabilities ever to take place at Harvard, “Eye Eye Nose Mouth” offers an original contribution to an ongoing conversation about mental health and the acceptance of mental disability and mental illness in both local and international contexts. On view January 30 – March 8, 2019 (M-F, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) Free & open to the public.

Made possible through the generous support of Harvard alumna Katherine States Burke, AB’79, and her husband, T. Robert Burke, the fellowship was created to help launch and advance the careers of promising junior faculty in global health – which in almost 10 years, has done so for over 30 Harvard faculty! The Burke Global Health Fellowship offers two types of funding: research awards up to $75,000 and curriculum development and teaching awards up to $25,000. Harvard University junior faculty have through February 15, 2019 to submit their Letter of Intent (LoI). Following an intense review period in spring 2019, applicants will be notified if their LoI has been accepted and will be asked to submit a full proposal. If then awarded, Fellows will be provided their allotted funding from July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020.
