Art mediation, well-being and community health: graphic reports in times of digital encounters
Abstract
Graphic report is an image for the representation and analysis of phenomena or events. It
configures its production from the representation of subjectivities, encounters and interactions of a
collective action, aiming to reflect on contextualised flows and synergies. From the project Art and
Health, of Organismo Autónomo Madrid Salud (2021), three graphic reports have been developed in
these meetings: 1) Abrazos Interrumpidos project, 2) the World Mental Health Day meeting and 3)
Building a Compassionate community meeting. In these health settings, especially since the pandemic period that promoted a multitude of movements from physical to online processes, these strategies can
emphasise the sense of community and the visibility of links between participants. This article aims,
from these cases, to expand on the keys presented in previous studies on this subject, analysing how
these visual strategies expand their potencies for a post-COVID art mediation. In this way, extended
characteristics are found in these non-face-to-face productions, that expand the possibilities of
reportage in contexts of artistic mediation and community health.
