Bethel House

Introduction

＜”Bethel House” (Video Installation, 2013)＞

In 1978, several people with mental disorders, who had been discharged from Red Cross Hospital in Urakawa, formed a survivors’ group. They moved into an old, abandoned church house and started living together. It was named Bethel House in 1984, and became the cornerstone of advocacy movement of people with mental disorders. It is a video work about the history and current activities of Bethel House.
