Aawful Aaron uses sports as an entry point to assist audiences in more deeply understanding anxiety and mental health struggles.
Curated and presented by Museum of Creative Human Art
This exhibition destigmatized open conversations about mental health, especially as they relate to black males. Using mainstream sports including basketball and football, and those often overlooked like chess and sword fencing, Aawful Aaron conveys a “game against anxiety” through different lenses with the intention of bringing together a multiplicity of sports fans to appreciate the nuanced ways in which we experience mental health.
