Participants in this session will join facilitator Sri Vamsi Matta in drama/theatre methods, movement practices, art therapy, and dialogue surrounding mental health, equity, and social justice. What are the things that make you feel like you don’t and do belong? Who are the people who make you feel like you don’t and do belong? How do we create bridges between these spaces to lead to belonging? The takeaway, Vamsi hopes, is to create dialogues around the intersection of social identity and mental health.
