AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Living with uncertainty:
Multiplicity as a healing pathway through expressive arts

9th International Expressive Arts Therapy Association Conference (IEATA) Lima, Peru 10th – 14th of August, 2011

We live in a time in which social and environmental destruction threatens us all. There are no clear answers to the problems of the world, but the arts offer possibilities and perspectives that can help us find new pathways towards healthful solutions.

Can we live with uncertainty? Multiplicity of arts, ancient traditions and contemporary ways of living, from a myriad of cultures, can invite us to find new possibilities of healing. The expressive arts can be our guide in the unknown future that awaits us as therapists, educators, consultants and peace-builders. We hope that this multi-cultural and inter-cultural even­t will help us learn from each other to find new ways towards health and well-being.

We would also like to offer new ways of thinking and sense-making from Peru – Latin America: a multicultural particular context, a diverse land filled with ancient wisdom, mostly poor, violent, corrupt yet beautiful, with the traditional arts still living and with a great variety of ways of healing. We invite the expressive arts community to join us in this effort.

We welcome proposals and workshops that reflect this critical topic from all teachers and practitioners of the expressive arts, from North and South America, and other parts of the globe.

Note: Proposal deadline has been extended to January 31, 2011
