HE{ART} THERAPY FOR BIWOC
"He{art} Therapy For BIWOC" is an incredibly transformative experience that combines the power of audio, visual, and photographic documentary styled presentation, with elements to help heal and empower women of color, Located in Milwaukee, WI.

HEALING. TRANSFORMATION. EMPOWERMENT.
Our Focus
Through the mediums of photography, mixed media art, open discussions and journaling, each woman will have the opportunity to express their emotions, explore healing and transformation, and empower themselves.

The project will culminate in a public art exhibition and film screening to share the participants' inspiring journeys.
The ultimate goal of this project is to provide BIWOC with healthy, creative and powerful outlet to express themselves, to help us move beyond stigmas & stereotypes.

What purpose does the nudity serve?
As a means to decolonize our minds and desexualize our bodies. Removing the stigma of shame, exposing truth, healing and catharsis. We were born naked. To return to the wisdom of our bodies. As a symbol of purity, originality, unique and sacred.
Do I get to keep my artwork? Does it cost?
Absolutely! Each participant will receive free digital copies of their photographic pieces, after installation is complete, each participant will be able to take home their physical sculptures. There is no cost for any part of this process.
Why is it being photographed and filmed?
This is a documentary styled film, as well as a photographic & mixed media art installation. It is telling OUR stories, in our own words, sharing OUR creative expression, journeying and healing together. This deserves to be shared with those who desire to see it. It creates community, safe spaces and opens the floor to all who are seeking creative and healthy ways to heal and express themselves.
