The Art of Healing Among Refugee Communities

Djibouti, Germany, Canada.
The trauma of displacement greatly affects identity. During the Watson year I will explore how home is recreated among displaced and resettled people, and what forms of cultural practice offers solace. By volunteering in local and community organizations and engaging in spaces of healing that support refugees, my goal is to expand my definitions of therapy, trauma, healthcare and home.
