Mind Over Matter is an independent project which breaks down stigma attached to mental health by discussing it through Hip Hop and Spoken Word Poetry. We host vibrant and dynamic events showcasing the best of up and coming talent as well as established artists from the worlds of Spoken Word and Hip Hop, for us to come together and discuss the difficult realities of mental health. Our bi-monthly ev
ents support self expression through two means:
Service spotlight: each event promotes a particular mental health project, service or organisation
Self expression: we aim to ensure a significant proportion of performers are artists who have lived experience relating to the event’s theme. Our key values:
Self-expression – people speaking for themselves in a way unique to their individual experience and creative skills
Collaboration – we continue to work with other projects, individuals and organisations to create platforms and share experiences. We also support signed and unsigned acts with paid performance rates, gig opportunities and promotion. Community – we hope to create a safe and welcoming environment for people to come together regardless of difficulties they have faced, or continue to deal with
Inspiration – providing a platform for individuals to share where they have been, where they are and where they are going, in a space free from judgement.
