										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>A Youth-Led Virtual Forum on Building Community and Healing through Art Making</h2>
<p><strong>March 19, 2021, 3:30-5pm</strong></p>
<p>A year ago, the COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers and students to pivot to remote learning. In response, Mass Cultural Council began facilitating bi-weekly CYD Community Meetings to support the field during this new reality. We also co-hosted a series of forums on Remote Learning in Arts Education and Creative Youth Development alongside EdVestors and the City of Boston Mayor&#8217;s Office of Arts and Culture.</p>
<p>Our next forum will be facilitated by youth members of the <a href="https://artsinternshipboston.weebly.com/2021-cohort.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bloomberg Arts Internship Alumni Advisory Council</a> and <a href="https://massculturalcouncil.org/blog/creative-youth-development-bipoc-alumni-council-selected/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mass Cultural Council&#8217;s CYD BIPOC Alumni Council</a>. Join us as we explore themes of community building; processing and healing from trauma; and addressing the socio-emotional challenges of the pandemic through the lens of art making.​</p>
<p><em>Please note that Zoom information for the forum will be sent to registered attendees closer to the event.</em></p>

<p>An international World Health Organization study found that 70% of respondents had experienced at least one type of trauma in their lifetime (Magruder et al., 2016). Over the last year, trauma in the cultural community has become even more prevalent due to the long-term toxic stress of the twin pandemics of COVID-19 and the injustices of racial inequality.</p>
<p>Trauma disproportionately impacts communities of color and young people, who are often already living with inadequate resources and access to power. Given these impacts, Mass Cultural Council is offering two workshops focused on understanding trauma and supporting healing in our community. Led by Dr. Tasha Golden and Renée Watson, these sessions will focus on how the arts can support healing, share and amplify the experiences of trauma and healing, and help transform policies and structures that perpetuate inequities.<br />
<span id="more-3003"></span></p>
<h2>An Introduction to Trauma-Informed Approaches:  Considering trauma responsiveness, healing, and “do no harm” in arts-based programs and activities.</h2>
<p><strong>March 26, 2021 10am-12pm</strong></p>
<p>This workshop will lay groundwork to help artists and arts organizations be more aware and confident creating programming that draws upon art’s ability to 1) engage with difficult experiences, and 2) support healing for participants, attendees, and audiences.</p>
<p>Learn what trauma is, how to recognize related symptoms and needs, and how to design activities to avoid harm while cultivating resilience and connection. Through direct examples from various programs for girls in detention, as well as lessons from similar initiatives, Dr. Golden will share how the arts can respond to needs for voice, choice, and autonomy, while also providing the direction and connection that can be so important in the healing process.</p>
<p><em>[Note: While art is therapeutic, not all artists are therapists, and some experiences/situations are best referred for professional help. Based on art’s broad ability to support health, this session is designed to help artists and arts organizations integrate information about trauma and responsive practices.]</em></p>
<h3><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qceihrDosH9CpvPcvWKKEK8aw1y9r8Ube" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Register for March 26 workshop</a></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Trauma, Social Justice, the Arts, and Healing: Discussion on the role of the arts in addressing trauma and supporting health through advocacy, storytelling, narrative change, and social connection.</h2>
<p><strong>April 9, 2021 10am-12pm</strong></p>
<p>By focusing both on individual and community-level healing, we will explore how the arts can address root causes associated with trauma and begin to change the narrative.  Dr. Tasha Golden’s important research in <a href="https://arts.ufl.edu/sites/creating-healthy-communities/resources/white-paper/?utm_source=UF+Center+for+Arts+in+Medicine+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=9247d6c27a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_11_08_10_05_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_048582c1ae-9247d6c27a-226338140" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Creating Healthy Communities</a>, her work as a musician, and her direct work with young people in <a href="https://www.tashagolden.com/juvenilejustice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project Uncaged</a>, will inform a rich dialogue on how the arts can address trauma through community and policy change. Renée Watson’s award-winning novels such as <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZZF2qK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Piecing Me Together</a>, <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/this-side-of-home-9781619639300/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This Side of Home</a>, <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/187385/a-place-where-hurricanes-happen-by-renee-watson-illustrated-by-shadra-strickland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A Place Where Hurricane&#8217;s Happen</a>, and her most recent book <a href="https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/love-is-a-revolution-9781547600618/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Love is a Revolution</a> address the complexity of traumas in many ways, including how focusing on self-care and joy are important ingredients of healing.</p>
<p>Join us for a dialogue with these two prominent creatives as we discover ways to address trauma and well-being through storytelling and social advocacy work.</p>
