bad day x M+
We all know what it's like to have a bad day. Sometimes we need a little help to navigate the emotions that arise.
From early 2026, M+ works in collaboration with bad day Festival by Caritas to bring forth both the ‘bad day self-help cafe’ and Community Day. Through inviting various communities and the public to activities at M+, this programme will allow visitors to explore ways of coexistence with hardships, making connecting between art and mental health.
‘bad day self-help cafe’ Drop-in
This activity is available for all M+ Ticket holders to join with no registration required. Tickets must be presented before entering the galleries.
The ‘bad day self-help cafe’ sits in a corner inside the exhibition M+ Sigg Collection: Inner Worlds, introducing simple grounding exercises to visitors for taking a pause and to focus on their feelings at the moment.
Date: 27 January 2026 to mid-April 2026
Location: Breakout Space, Sigg Galleries, L2, M+
Community Day
Community Day invites individuals and communities interested in the topic of emotions and stress to explore how art can be transformed into a tool for inner strength in the face of a bad day, through a relaxed introductory session, conversations, guided tours, and workshops. Each of the four sessions over two event days will present designated themed activities for various audiences.
