Building the Barricades (ES/S000720/1) Follow-On: mobilising research on mental health and substance use in Complexo da Maré, Rio de Janeiro

这个提议源于一个独特的机会，将《建筑路障》（ES/S000720/1）的研究成果带给新的观众。在mar<s:1>缺乏医疗干预和社会援助的情况下，在原始研究中进行的研究使人们注意到积极参与艺术和文化活动对于个人从精神健康障碍中康复以及建立心理健康复原力和福祉的重要性。后续的提案将使用基于艺术的方法（现场表演、装置和视觉艺术）来扩大研究的影响，同时为巴西里约热内卢的Complexo da mar<s:1>市民的福祉做出贡献。该项目的现有研究已经通过一系列出版物、研究研讨会和会议吸引了国际学术界的参与。现在的重点是使一般受众以及致力于并负责在巴西里约热内卢和拉丁美洲提供精神卫生和福祉服务的主要利益攸关方参与进来。该项目将在里约热内卢建立一个精神卫生委员会，由15名来自在mar<s:1>提供卫生保健服务的民间社会组织和政府机构的代表组成，他们将根据最初的研究结果提出建议，并倡导卫生政策改革，以改善mar<s:1>的卫生保健服务。在FIOCRUZ的合作下，我们将举办三次圆桌辩论，进一步吸引民间社会组织以及城市、州和联邦机构参与这项研究，以解决mar<s:1>等领土居民的心理健康问题。研究小组还将主持一次知识交流访问，与在波哥大<e:1>、利马和布宜诺斯艾利斯脆弱地区工作的民间社会组织分享方法和研究成果，这是遗产基金会和PRIEBE （Co-I）建立的艺术和心理健康区域网络的一部分。这一后续建议将在研究的解释和传播中激发一系列声音。该提案与民间社会和研究组织mar<s:1>发展网络（MDN）合作，将确保Complexo da mar<s:1>的社区继续登记研究结果，Complexo da mar<s:1>是巴西里约热内卢16个贫民窟的一部分，居住着超过14万居民。在过去的18个月里，英国和巴西的联合研究团队建立了一个跨学科的分析和方法框架，跨越了地理、社会和学科的界限。原始研究的一个方面是利用基于艺术的实践来制作叙事和图像，挑战与精神、神经和物质使用（MNS）障碍相关的耻辱和排斥。这些实践包括研讨会和活动（现场和在线），来自mar<s:1>居民和诗人、音乐家、摄影师和视觉艺术家。在进行研究的同时，研究小组的成员还为那些经常使用露天可卡因的人建立了一个合唱团。这些创造性举措的成功为探索综合方法提供了意想不到的机会，以便在参与这一多学科研究的各种机构和学术界以外的各种新受众之间产生和传播知识。作为b里约热内卢领先的国际艺术节之一，Multiplicidade邀请HERITAGE （PI）于2021年10月在Biblioteca Parque Estadual以研究结果为基础创作表演/装置。这个临时命名为“Mais Becos”的表演/装置将由巴西著名的当代音乐家指导，他将与流行的艺术形式、音乐和摄影合作，并参与31个社区艺术倡议，包括合唱团，以及来自mar<s:1>的1000多名居民。

This proposal arises from a unique opportunity to bring the research findings from Building the Barricades (ES/S000720/1) to new audiences. In the absence of medical interventions and social assistance in Maré, the studies undertaken in the original research have drawn attention to the importance of active participation in art and cultural activities for individuals' recovery from mental health disorders as well as to build mental health resilience and wellbeing. The follow-on proposal will use arts-based methodologies (live performance, installation and visual arts) to extend the impact of the research, whilst simultaneously contributing to increased well-being amongst the citizens of the Complexo da Maré, Rio de Janeiro. The project's existing research has already engaged the international academic community through an ongoing series of publications, research seminars and conferences. The focus will now be on engaging general audiences as well as key stakeholders committed to, and responsible for, the delivery of mental health and well-being services in Rio de Janeiro and Latin America. The project will establish a Mental Health Committee in Rio de Janeiro, made up of 15 representatives from civil society organisations and government agencies delivering health care provision in Maré, who will develop recommendations based on the original research findings and advocate for health policy reform to improve provision in Maré. In collaboration with FIOCRUZ, we will host three roundtable debates, further engaging civil society organisations as well as city, state and federal agencies addressing the mental health consequences for residents of territories like Maré with the research. The research team will also host a knowledge exchange visit, sharing methodologies and the research findings with civil society organisations working in fragile territories in Bogotá, Lima and Buenos Aires as part of a regional network on arts and mental health established by HERITAGE and PRIEBE (Co-I). This follow-on proposal will activate a range of voices in the interpretation and dissemination of the research. Working with the civil society and research organisation Maré Development Networks (MDN), the proposal will ensure that the research findings continue to register with the community in Complexo da Maré, a territory of 16 favelas in Rio de Janeiro which is home to over 140,000 residents. Over the past 18 months, the combined British and Brazilian research team have built an inter-disciplinary analytical and methodological framework that bridges geographical, social and disciplinary borders. One strand of the original research has used arts-based practices to produce narratives and images that challenge stigma and exclusion associated with Mental, Neurological and Substance Use (MNS) disorders. These practices included workshops and events (live and online) with residents from Maré and poets, musicians, photographers and visual artists. Alongside the research, members of the team also established a choir for those who frequent the open-use crack sites. The success of these creative initiatives has opened up unexpected opportunities to explore integrated ways to produce and disseminate learning between the various agents involved in this multidisciplinary research and a diverse range of new audiences beyond academia. Multiplicidade, one of Rio's leading international arts festivals, has invited HERITAGE (PI) to create a performance/installation based on the research findings at the Biblioteca Parque Estadual in October 2021. Provisionally entitled 'Mais Becos', this performance/installation will be directed by a leading Brazilian contemporary musician working with popular art-forms, music and photography, and engage 31 community-based arts initiatives mapped during the original research, including the choir, and over 1,000 residents from Maré.
