Art Power: Creative Women Together Project

Delivering creative workshops to women self-referred from domestic and sexual abuse services alongside art practitioners and an art therapist, I am interested in the power of women to use their voices collaboratively to support each other through the medium of a shared creative experience.

A three-minute film documenting the project in the women’s voices will preface a discussion of the role of social justice in the museum within a framework of positive psychology.
