In her talk, Tara shares how she became one of the founders of the hashtag movement #égerekkitabú (#ImNotTaboo), which inspired Icelanders to come out with stories of their own struggles with mental health. She argues that social media has the power to break down barriers of stigma and can help improve peoples’ lives.
Tara is a photographer and aspiring filmmaker who in 2015 came out with her depression, after secretly fighting the illness on her own for 11 years. Since then, Tara has been actively fighting against the stigma attached to mental illnesses. She founded the Faces of Depression project where she photographed 100 Icelanders suffering from depression and was one of the shaping forces behind the Icelandic hashtag movement #égerekkitabú (#ImNotTaboo). Tara is currently working on her next project, a documentary called Depressed Nation.
