| Abstract or Description: |
As part of this landmark conference an exhibition was installed in the heart of the space, positioning the imagination as central to the aims of this gathering. Bringing together artwork of art psychotherapists and the people they work with, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installations and time-based, audio-visual works, this enabled an aesthetic engagement with the conference theme. This catalogue provides insight into this exhibition and the diversity of ideas, forms and practices emerging from art psychotherapy in finding a voice and making your mark.
