Mothers and daughters struggling to find their identities and shed legacies that may not be their own. They are all on a quest to define themselves, often bruising and sometimes tearing their skin along the way as they bump against historical, cultural and familial boundaries.
But Before Bone is Skin, curated by Jonell Logan explores this space of women The path that we take to find peace and resolve in who we are. The artists in the show question and construct internal spaces that are secret, yet teased out and sometimes shared with others. They challenge notions of beauty and the definitions, often prescribed by others, of femininity and propriety. They share their individual questions and journey through womanhood.
Exhibiting Artists: Melissa Alexander, Shanequa Gay, Yanique Norman, Sharon Norwood and Zipporah Camille Thompson

]]>Description: Compassion-based approaches have been widely supported through recent research in the field with diverse populations. These approaches are of specific interest for grieving individuals due to their capacity-building effect for clinicians and patients alike. Training in compassion has demonstrated enhanced ability to tolerate distress, maintain focus, and discern clinical interventions that are appropriate in a variety of contexts. Cultivating a compassionate stance provides clinicians with the opportunity to engage patients with their full attention and presence, allowing openness and receptivity for both the painful and the adaptive aspects of the patient’s experiences.
]]>Due to the ongoing pandemic, workshops will be held online through Zoom. Workshops will share information about mental health and wellness, but they are not a substitute for mental health treatment.
