36th Annual Illinois Art Therapy Conference

Intersecting Art Therapy and Social Justice Saturday, October 22nd, 2016 This year's conference seeks to strengthen the role of art therapist in promoting social change, and to deepen our commitment to practices that aim to achieve social justice. We are presenting a call to action to acknowledge our responsibility to our community and to educate ourselves about prevalent issues of individual, collective, and institutional oppression, injustice, and violence. We aim within this conference to promote an open dialogue in order to dissect these processes, define the role that we as art therapists can play, and learn how to better serve as allies and direct collaborators for transformative social change. We hope to see you there. A special thanks to the Conference Committee for all of the hard work and dedication they put into this conference: Rachel Harrison, Sze-Chin Lee, Rebecca DeGraw, Sofia Daneshyar, Amelia Thomley, Sophie Canade, Liz Gardner, Megan Campbell, the Multicultural Committee, and the Programs Committee. Very Sincerely, Danielle Eichner IATA Conference Chair 2016 |
