Tribulations and Turbulence... of the Body and Mind
contemporary artists' interpretations and explorations of autobiographical medical conditions
Arts have long played an integral part in how we teach, learn, communicate, andheal. Our earliest ancestors began telling stories to make sense of the world, and sincethen, humans have evolved to learn from narrative, be it through visual media orperformances. The arts are uniquely suited to help us understand as well ascommunicate ideas by drawing on multiple senses. Further, Art can help us toemotionally navigate the journey of battling an illness or injury, to process difficultemotions in times of emergency, and challenging events. According to a studyconducted by the World Health Organization, including the arts in health caredelivery has been shown to support positive clinical outcomes for patients while alsosupporting other stakeholders, including health care providers, the patient’s lovedones and the wider community.This exhibition brings together artists who reference deeply personal emotionsoriginating from health conditions they are dealing with. Whether the process of creating supports in healing or it remains a way to express, be it a case of ‘art for art’s sake’ or a mode for increased awareness and empathy, the artists use their physical, physiological, or physiological conditions as the core source of inspiration. Markmaking that measures a fluctuating rhythm, imagery that tells of dichotomies, orformats that evoke a sense of pain, the group of artists use various methodologies intheir respective artistic journeys.
