MENTAL: Colours of Wellbeing is not an exhibition about mental illness, treatments or cures. It is a welcoming place where you can confront societal bias and stereotypes around mental health. MENTAL invites you to embark on an intimate and personal journey that explores the many different ways of being, surviving and making connections, that have become of increasing importance to us all. This exhibition features 24 interactive exhibits, art projects and large-scale installations by international artists, makers, scientists and designers that reflect a range of perspectives on mental health and ways of being.

Coldrey was a collaborator on Rachel Hanlon’s Hello Machine, Hello Human interactive AI telephone installation. Hello Machines are situated across the globe in ever-changing locations and time zones. Pick up the phone to call another Hello Machine or answer the phone when it rings and have a spontaneous conversation with a stranger. Who will be on the other end of the line for your call, and are they a human or a machine?
