By Magdalena Karlick, Ph.D-c, ATR-BC, LPCC "In true art therapist form, to support my writing of this blog, I played with art supplies to help me connect to what I wanted to say. I made collages depicting the impact of current anti-trans legislation, the complex loss related to religious trauma, and the beauty of being authentic in spite of. The symbols in these collages that stand out to me are a half-covered window, parts of faces put together, harvested butterflies, a catapult, memorial candles, and the layers of words: embracing, legacy, contents, we are not alone, and why. When issues and perspectives are complicated, I turn towards collage and layering materials. It supports my understanding of what is hidden, what overlaps, what is centered, and what is missing."
By Carolyn Brown Treadon, Ph.D., ATR-BC, ATCS and Brian Tepper, ATR-BC, ATCS, LCAT, AATA Conference Committee Roberto Lugo has been on the radar of the Conference Committee for several years—and we are thrilled that he has agreed to be a part of this year’s AATA conference! As a committee, we were particularly impressed not only with Mr. Lugo’s development from graffiti artist to potter, but his incredible work with the community as well. A distinguished academic and artist, he continues to remain focused on what brought him to the arts: His ability to connect with the community. He often brings his wheel to the streets!
