about us
The subshape Foundation (‘subshape’) is a mental health safe space that aims to improve mental health through creativity by sharing stories and art and therefore establish connections between people.
subshape is a Dutch Foundation and is part of the phase[0] community, both founded by visual artist Shanta Jethoe.
phase[0] and the subshape Foundation both aim to benefit society in a profound way. At phase[0] we create art installations where art and food are combined as a means to connect with yourself, your body, your needs and with others. At subshape we aim to establish connections as well. Only here, the focus is on mental health.
With this platform, we can inform, inspire and connect through shared experiences, stories and art. We believe that art and togetherness are essential ways to benefit mental health.
Our goals include creating an inclusive work environment, the destigmatisation of mental health and bringing art closer to people.
