NAEMI is dedicated to discovering, studying, promoting, exhibiting, and preserving the art of those struggling with mental illness throughout the world. It has been a pioneer in supporting “outsider” art.
“Our aim has been to contribute to their realization as artists, because they produce something useful for society. We represent the sphere of the outsiders so they can exhibit, despite the fact that in the beginning their aim was not to make art” – Juan Martin, Founder of NAEMI in a recent interview for Magazine ONCuba.
Outsider art produced by untrained artists recovering from mental illnesses who are typically unconnected to the conventional art world—not by choice but by circumstance. The “classic” figures of outsider art were socially or culturally marginal figures. They were usually undereducated; they...almost invariably embraced unconventional views of the world, sometimes alien to the prevailing dominant culture.
