Art Is For Healing And Why It's So Hard To Do That

A love letter to all those burnt out on "being somebody" other than themselves. #rest #artishealing #edwardiangown

I am realizing the complicated relationship I’ve had with work, but also the simultaneous  healing power of art and art therapy, especially during autistic burnout.

What I listened to while I made this gown:

Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey : https://thenapministry.com/

The healing powers of art | Domingo Z...

And a big thank you to my friends, who have taught me so much about the power of community healing, neurodivergent self acceptance and rest.

Please be patient with the audio. I have auditory processing disorder. It makes it very difficult to edit sound.
