„Many People – Many Views” is an adventure into exploration and education of the Macedonian Cultural heritage and the influences of other European cultures meeting in this part of the Balkans in different periods of history. The storytellers are ten psychiatric patients hospitalized in the Psychiatric Hospital in Demir Hisar, a city situated in the west part of Macedonia. It is multilayered story and gives a view to Cultural Heritage from the perspective of this group of marginalized people - psychiatric patients.

The story began in 2018, when a lecture about the art of psychiatric patients was given in the House of Culture in Demir Hisar for first time. The audience including members of the local community and psychiatric patients from the nearby hospital were introduced with the works of art from the Art Brut Collection in Lausanne, Switzerland and Hans Prinzhorn Collection which are today displayed in the University of Heidelberg Psychiatric Clinic in Germany. As an outcome from this lecture, in the following month a three-day photography class was organized for a group of ten patients in the Psychiatric Hospital. During the classes as a way of art therapy, the patients were introduced with the origins, the history and the development of the photography, especially with the work of the Manaki Brothers, the first photographers in Southwest Balkans. They are important part of the European history of photography and motion picture. They worked and lived in the nearby city, Bitola. For the short duration of the course, the patients learned how to make photos with analog camera and their works resulted in publishing a catalog.

Based on the European values on respect for freedom, democracy, equality and respect for human rights, including the rights of people belonging to minorities, the story incorporates active participation of a marginalized group of people and uses the method of education, learning skills, art and culture, with a main purpose of exploring the influences of different European cultures to the local heritage. Another goal of the story is to enrich the European collection of Art Brut (known as well as Outsider art). It is a step forward towards the inclusion of marginalized group of people into the society as well as into the cultural life of the community.
