For most of our world’s history, those who are deemed “different” are isolated, medicalized, murdered, or institutionalized. It is our belief that this radical mistreatment comes from the lack of ability to recognize the cultural importance of divergent being. The purpose of this center is to offer a new narrative, one running in opposition to the dominant medical model we know as “mental health.”

The Center for Mad Cultural offers events which cluster around the idea of culture making – art, poetry, performance, etc.

The Center also offers a unique and growing mad library which is available to the public. This library centers around mad and disability studies, and will be used to help place the conversations that occur in the space within a larger context.
