C2 - Sherwin-Roller | The Art Therapist’s Role in Decolonization

This interactive workshop explores art therapy with Indigenous populations and the art therapist’s role in decolonization. Participants will learn about decolonization as a living, breathing process, rather than just a ‘word’. Participants will utilize art therapy to start to explore what that means to them and how to understand more about becoming an ally and working authentically within this milieu.
