This channel shows how art and literature combined can work as a powerful psychological antidote and help for mental health in a media-saturated, screen-dominated age - the power of textual healing.

The importance of reading and literacy is discussed using various types of literature which are blended with visual art, philosophical, and psychological material to explore what society loses when we become less literate and informed about art in its full historical context.

The whole range of Western culture is used - from the myths of Ancient Greece, to fairytales, great literature, and Contemporary Abstract Art - to demonstrate how paintings, cinema, and literature can illuminate, not only each other, but also our sense of life's deeper meaning.
