Amsterdam, De Waalse Kerk
About the Event
Trauma in society inflicts its vices not only on those directly involved in war or loss. It gently invades the most unconscious and innocent corner of society and transmits its message intergenerationally. Well‐known author and physician specializing in trauma Gabor Maté writes in his book The Myth of Normal, “Ignorance can bring blissful peace, but that is not true bliss on a collective level, it can lead to great and widespread suffering. We do ourselves and the world a great service when we try to dissolve our illusions and open ourselves to the truths they hide.” This program revolves around the effects of loss and grief, and how the artists found their way to healing.
