Unlearning and Relearning: Reframing our language, space, and practice as able bodied, neurotypical art therapists
Description
Please join us for a time of reflection, discussion, and critical thinking as we examine how the art therapy world has upheld ableist practices and how we can start dismantling them. How can we reframe our language, spaces, practices, and definition of art to better support our clients? We will take a journey using art and writing by autistic and disabled artists, and researchers to examine how we can reflect on our internal biases and move towards a more inclusive, holistic practice. Topics of disability justice, how to listen to our clients, reassessing our space, and creating welcoming environments will be covered.
This panel will be free of charge.
