SMIRK
ROSA URIBE
The project explores the fictitious Smile Club phenomenon of 1937, a facade orchestrated to mask Budapest's gloomy reality. Through intimate conversations with Hungarian locals brought to light a profound connection to their collective pain and suffering. Experimenting with Smile Club techniques on myself revealed the fallacy of prescribed cures in addressing mental health struggles; instead, I discovered that healing is a deeply personal and ongoing process of acceptance and resilience. Ultimately, my project exposes a painful truth: true healing cannot be forced upon a society by political agendas, it requires genuine acknowledgment and societal change.
