Exhibition explores body image themes
An exhibition titled An exhibition to change the way we look at bodies is currently on display at the Chapel of the Jesuits, exploring themes of body image, self-acceptance, and the societal perceptions of overweight individuals. Artistic expressions highlight personal experiences
The exhibition features a variety of artistic expressions, including photos, drawings, paintings, sculptures, poems, and a book of testimonies. These works provide a platform for individuals to share their personal stories and emotions related to their bodies. Participants are patients from a day hospital
The works were created by patients from the day hospital of Peyron, who participated in workshops designed to encourage expression, creation, and sharing around the image of the body. These workshops offer a therapeutic space for participants to explore their feelings and experiences. Workshops address challenges of weight gain
These workshops aim to address the challenges associated with weight gain, which can be a side effect of certain treatments and often leads to discomfort and questioning of self-image. The sessions help participants navigate these emotional difficulties through creative engagement. Art challenges negative perceptions of bodies
Through artistic creation, participants seek to challenge negative perceptions of bodies and promote a more compassionate view of individuals, emphasizing their uniqueness beyond societal norms. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on how society views different body types. Exhibition dates and times
