Vrapče Pillows
Catalogue of the exhibition “Vrapče Pillows” set up as a gallery reconstruction of the process of making pillows in the Vrapče psychiatric hospital. Forum Gallery, Zagreb, 2015.
The pillows were made by patients at the Vrapče psychiatric hospital as part of the project of the same name in 2013. The promotion of the pillow through a media campaign and the participation of interested persons via Facebook enhanced the dialogue about the taboo topic of the psychiatric hospital, its patients and mental illnesses.
The authors of the project are Andreja Kulunčić (visual artist), Dubravka Stijačić (defectologist-social pedagogue and psychotherapist, Vrapče Psychiatric Hospital), Vlatka Prstačić (leader of creative workshops at the Vrapče Psychiatric Hospital), Kuna zlatica (design team of Ana Kunej and Zlatka Salopek). Co-authors of the pillows were patients of the Vrapče Psychiatric Hospital.
