Horizons 2019: SWOON “Unearthing the Medea: The Intersection of Art & Psychedelic Assisted Therapy”

Описание: “Unearthing the Medea: The Intersection of Art and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy”
Artist Caledonia Curry, also known as Swoon, will give an in depth look at how psychedelic assisted therapy helped her to make contact with repressed trauma, and how the journey of healing that trauma came to life through a work of art.

CALEDONIA CURRY aka SWOON
Artist and Activist

Caledonia Curry, aka Swoon, is a Brooklyn-based street artist. Drawing on both realistic and fantastical elements, Curry has been transforming the world with her immersive installations, wheat-paste portraits, and community-based social justice projects for the last two decades.

While Callie’s work has adorned the walls of more classical institutions—including New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, and the Tate Modern—her overarching aim is always to create accessible art that transports audiences while simultaneously shedding light on pressing social and environmental issues. Most recently, she has begun exploring visual storytelling through film and animation.

Horizons: Perspectives on Psychedelics is an annual forum that examines the role of psychedelic drugs in science, medicine, culture and spirituality.
