Exploring the Body's Crisis: Art and Reflection

The Body in Crisis Project invites students to delve into the complexities of trauma, societal pressures, and personal struggles. Through creative expression, participants will investigate how stereotypes and perfectionism impact the adolescent experience. By combining figure drawings, text, and powerful themes, students can portray the multifaceted nature of a body in crisis. Emphasizing excellence, imagination, and confidence, this project encourages self-reflection and innovative approaches to addressing emotional, psychological, and societal challenges.
