PRESS RELEASE
VIEW OF A SCHIZOPHRENIC
An exhibition of photographs
by Stuart Baker Brown
A moving exhibition of photographs and diary entries by Stuart Baker Brown from Puddletown opens at Faith House, Holton Lee on Friday 25th February with a private view on Saturday 5th March ( 11.33 – 13.30) The exhibition runs until 5th April. The exhibition will highlight mental illness and show what can be achieved by someone living with Schizophrenia
In November 2003 Stuart Baker Brown travelled to Nepal and Everest base camp with an award from the Winston Churchill Travel Fellowship The purpose of the trek was to highlight mental illness and prove that great goals can still be achieved whilst living with schizophrenia. Stuart trekked for more than 200 miles to reach base camp
This exhibition is a photographic record of Stuart’s journey and includes many pictures of Everest and the beautiful children and people of Nepal. The photographs are supported by extracts from Stuart’s diary and commentary about the places he visited.
Stuart undertook the gruelling trek to raise awareness of mental health issues. He believes that for too long schizophrenia has been associated with violence and fear when in reality the vast majority live their life with love and understanding.
Stuart says…
“ We too have our own beautiful minds, we too can be wonderful, intelligent, caring people but unfortunately we are not recognised for these qualities. This exhibition will show people that having a mental illness does not mean having a dangerous deluded mind”
In Oct 2005 Stuart is off on his travels again and is planning to summit the north face of Everest to help highlight mental illness even further.
Stuart is available for interviews
