Learning how to project and map those projections! Here's a fun shot of projection mapping on a classmate!

These are photos I took during the projection mapping workshop. We created the projections in our groups. We used the programme Mad Mapping, projectors and Mac computers for this workshop. We used stencils in the programme to shape the videos to the shape of the objects we were projecting onto. I enjoyed this workshop.

Mad Mapping

One of the most innovative self-care techniques for addressing mental disorders, illnesses, and stress is mad-mapping. This exercise forces us to ask ourselves questions, such as

What are our triggers? How do we cope with them so that we don't get lost? What has been helpful in the past and what has not been helpful? What medications have worked, which haven't and how can we come off if we don't need them anymore? How can we build the life we want to live? Who do we want to be?

Most importantly of all, these maps put you in charge of your mental health. They can help you learn to work through your battles and overcome your hurdles. The questions above make you take a hard look at yourself and answer these questions that we often don’t want to answer.

The video above is from the Icarus Project, and they have developed a wonderful intro guide to mad-mapping. You can use it as a jumping off point, as inspiration, or as a lifeline. -CGM
