First Fortnight is Ireland’s Mental Health Arts Festival 2018 and in collaboration with Social Art Ireland showcases “Louder Than Words” an exhibition created by 3 art therapists. The exhibition reflects their own process, using art therapy. These images show personal yet universally expects of the human experience ie. anger, trauma, loss, abandonment, war. Art therapy provides us with an opportunity to explore our emotions in a safe environment with a witnessing other. A person can learn more about their blind spots, triggers and behaviour.
