Black Men's Minds: expression and mental health

In 2013, visual artist, filmmaker, and psychotherapist Stephen Rudder was wrestling with negative portrayals of Black people in the media. “All the stories that I heard at the time were either violent or sexualised”, he says. “There's just something about Black men that I was trying to work out for myself anyway, so I wanted to research that and how they interacted with mental health, and I naively just didn’t know what was going on. When I did the research, I was kind of shocked.”
