María & Vala started working together in London in 2010, where Vala was focusing on performance making and María on visual art. Together they started working on interdisciplinary projects in films and immersive performances.
With the project, we hope to bring a new artistic angle to the discussion about mental health and to give people with mental health problems a voice in the fight for equality and the possibility of a normal life without prejudices after recovery.
