The Art of Healing

---

It is a powerful tool and medium in healing. Once an interpreter with a Psychologist’s office I noticed paintings of Escher on his office walls. He was continuously asking his patients about the content of the artist’s work.

In 2007 Yar Taraky started the art healing project in Canada that involved the use of visual and performing arts for self-expression and emotional healing. Since then art healing has become a powerful tool in the hands of social workers, community developers and refugee service providers.
