'On The Borderline' - An Exhibition of Artwork created by individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Favorite
An Exhibition by talented Artists, giving an insight into their experience of life with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
Many people find BPD difficult to understand. This exhibition endeavours to being to change this by creatively sharing firsthand experiences of the condition through art and creativity. This show exhibits art from BPD sufferers and carers of sufferers from time to time. The purpose of this is to reduce stigma about BPD and to enable some really talented artists to get their message about the diagnosis out there in a media that, for some, says much more than words can.
About Borderline Arts
Borderline Arts is a not-for-profit charity based in Derby established in March 2013. Borderline Arts is the only charity in England that focuses specifically on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). We use the arts to raise awareness of BPD - a severe and enduring mental health condition. Through increasing understanding of the condition, we of course educate people, but also break down the stigma surrounding it. 1% of the population have a diagnosis of BPD and 1 in 10 individuals with BPD die from suicide. Despite this, very few people know what BPD is or how to effectively support those with the condition. We want to help change that and that is why we exist!
