Hello, we are students from FTA242 (Creative Thinking) from UiTM Puncak Perdana. From Sonder St. is our final assignment project to rise the awareness of mental illnesses amongst creatives.⠀
From Sonder St. is a safe space for creatives to express and share their struggles from mental illnesses.⠀
Sonder means the realization that each random passer-by is living their own complex lives. Streets are where most creative minds get their inspiration to do their work, be it writing a poem, painting a canvas or hand making a dress. We creatives gather our inspiration by sitting down and observing others, thus making the community we’ve created to be named From Sonder St.
Mental illness is quite common nowadays especially among the creative industry. People whose careers revolve around the creative world such as writers, actors or painters have a higher risk of having mental health issues.⠀
According to an article written by Christensen (2013), a depressive episode tends to last longer and it is more severe as creatives have a natural inclination to keep on reflecting on it. Creatives use their art to express themselves and inspire others. From Sonder St. wishes to allow them the excess of having just that through our platform.
