This workshop, led by ASU Associate Professor and CYBOTAGE Principal Investigator Zeina Barakeh, offers a relaxed, supportive space to create freely and connect with other veterans. You can explore what an “enhanced” or “healed” body might look like using 2D artwork such as collage, drawing, painting, or traditional materials. Depending on available resources, there may also be opportunities to experiment with sound using digital tools, synthesizers, and software.
