Chances are if you are visiting this blog, you or someone you know has experienced pregnancy loss and/ or infertility.
Losing an infant. A miscarriage. Struggling to conceive a child. These can be the most devastating experiences of a person's life, redefining their entire existence, yet they are rarely talked about in a public forum. One can go to a support group or grieve in private, yet I have found that art is a powerful way to explore emotions of grief and loss; sharing this process can be tremendous source of healing. By having an open collaboration of artists in a public setting, my hope was to create a dialogue between the ones who have suffered and the ones who may never fully understand.
This blog was created to reach indviduals who write, play music, or create visual art about pregnancy loss and infertility. Artists from all over the country were invited to submit work to the art show “Bearing Witness: Healing Pregnancy Loss and Infertility Through the Arts."
Allowing others to bear witness and honor the creativity that comes with loss can build a stronger community and create a deeper understanding of this human experience.
Please pass this along to anyone you think would benefit from learning about this creative collaboration.
Thank you.
