Show Notes
An ongoing exhibit on Governor's Island asks New Yorkers to donate their empty pill bottles as part of an installation that seeks to destigmatize the use of medication in the treatment of mental health and other ailments. Artist Alyson Vega joins us to discuss the project, alongside Rachel Weisman, director of the Fountain House Gallery, an organization aimed at supporting contemporary artists who cope with mental illness. Meditations on Medication: The Pill Bottle Project is on view through August 11.
