Come out for “Healing Through Art” the second installation of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities’ three-part series entitled Curate Your Culture: Community Conversations.
This conversation will explore how local DC organizations are using the arts as an outlet to heal and explore the minds and bodies of those within our community.
Storyteller, Rev. Joani Peacock, will kick off the evening with a 10-minute story about living with mental illness and the role the arts can play in recovery. Afterwards there will be a panel discussion that will focus on how the arts and humanities are playing a critical role in the health and healing of those facing physical and psychological challenges. How can creative expression help individuals suffering from terminal illness, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), emotional distress and other physical ailments?
