Out of the Darkness Cafe Conversations 2021
Compassion Ballarat • March 11, 2021
Have you seen the Art Gallery’s 2021 exhibition, ‘Out of the Darkness’?
Compassionate Ballarat led, in a relaxed atmosphere at The George, a number of conversations to discuss what role the Arts can play in supporting individual and social trauma with questions such as:
- What was your overall response to the exhibition?
- How can creativity, wonder and awe lift us out of our day to day?
- What role might art and creativity play in social healing?
- How can contemporary art galleries and museums contribute to community wellbeing?
