In 2023, ΕΜΣΤ begun a collaboration with the voluntary artistic initiative Talks & Crafts, curated and coordinated by artist Marina Tsironi. In the context of this collaboration, members of the EPAPSY (Regional Development and Mental Health Society) “Franco Basaglia” Day Center visit ΕΜΣΤ with the aim of using art to promote the skills of people who face psychosocial difficulties and – consequently – to improve their life quality. Through dialogue with different contemporary artists, EPAPSY beneficiaries come into contact with contemporary artworks and different media, and then participate in specially designed workshops.
