Telling Trauma
through Film & Art
Workshop
"A Girl Named C" is a documentary that features a young girl struggling with the aftermath of sexual assault and making meaning of her experience through art-making. I offered a session where we explored some of C’s images and our own, to better grasp -- both in our mind and through our hands -- how art expresses and helps transform us. We discussed trauma-informed care and reflected on C’s story through this lens. Participants were invited to make art and to look at art, and to learn some of the essentials of witnessing in trauma therapy.
