Art and Health: Memories Inscribed between Pains and Loves

BrainSpace

How to deal with our memories, our pains, and loves? What if we promoted a dialogue, a conversation between the body/dance, music, poetry, and any other form of expression? Come learn more about this process, developed in a workshop at the Institute of Psychiatry of UFRJ, where participants have the chance to manifest their life stories and also their experience of psychic suffering. A conversation circle about art and mental health.
