Brief Summary   The study aims to explore how direct social contact with individuals who have lived experience of severe mental illness (LEE) influences the perceptions of visual arts students in Chennai, India. By integrating these interactions into the students’ artistic processes, the research seeks to foster empathy, challenge stereotypes, and promote a deeper understanding of psychosis. The hypothesis is that engaging with persons with lived experience of psychosis will positively impact the students’ perceptions, as reflected in their artistic expressions, thereby contributing to stigma reduction and encouraging meaningful dialogue around mental illness.
