The Art of Recovery: An Exhibit of Artwork by Individuals in Recovery from Eating Disorders
Join us for a campus-wide event in recognition of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week with special guests from The Renfrew Center. Looking at the visual art expressions of individuals in treatment for eating disorders can give us a profound window into their experiences. Patient artwork will be on display offering an in-depth look at the complexity and journey from eating disorders to recovery.
This exhibit will focus on common themes and motifs that show up in the art, with commentary and analysis provided by Sondra Rosenberg, ATR-BC, Renfrew's Creative Arts Therapies Supervisor. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the various inner conflicts that give rise to disordered eating, and the role of creativity in the recovery process.
All are welcome. For questions or requests regarding access and accommodations, please contact TUWellness@temple.edu in advance of a program.
This program is part of Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2023. Please know help is available and recovery is possible. Take good care, Owls.
