Image-making and Healing Practice
|
||
| |
This talk is focused on healing through art, with emphasis on art therapy, from its earliest beginnings in the mid-20th Century to current practice. |
|
Here we look at how mark-making has been used in healing practices, from the earliest times throughout the world, in Africa, North America, Australia and Asia, through to Egypt and Greek times. The talk then shows how mental illness was treated throughout the Middle Ages and the changes in such treatment which took place over the years. |
Case studies, examples of Cilla's own work, and other artists working to heal the psyche, illustrate how art is used in healing and therapy today. | |
