Mariana is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Research in Eating and Weight Disorders (CREW) at King's College London. As a co-organizer of Challenging Perspectives, my focus is on creating promotional materials that bring this exhibition to life. With a passion for using art to communicate science, I believe visual storytelling plays a powerful role in understanding mental health conditions and the diverse pathways to hope and recovery.
