As a mental health doodle creator on Instagram, Irwan Tja (b. 1996) dedicates his daily life to educating the public about the importance of mental health. His content in this exhibition and on his social media platform covers various topics for all age groups, from stories about specific life issues to motivational content to help untangle the mess in his mind. With over a hundred thousand social media followers, Irwan has built a large community for exchanging thoughts and providing support to anyone navigating life's challenges that affect mental health.
Irwan's art encourages you to get involved. On the left, you see various mental conditions that many young people in Indonesia go through. If you connect with any of them, take a sticker and place it in the marked area. You'll see that you're not alone—many people feel the same way. We need to support one another as a community.
Irwan has also made a zine to help you understand and deal with these conditions. You can donate for each zine you take using the box provided.
If your condition is getting in the way of your daily life, contact professionals like psychologists or psychiatrists for help. The sooner you get help, the better your life will be. Let's heal together!
