CACH researcher: Julie Mytton
The Art of Healing was an AHRC-funded research project investigating the potential for arts activities and art-based therapies to support the mental health and wellbeing of children affected by conflict. Between 2020-2021, we worked with the Dolphin International School and 30 students (ages 11 to 15) in the town of Pulwama in the Kashmir Valley, India, we supported them to create a ‘Kalakar Qasbah’ (artists’ collective). Students participated in drama, visual arts, puppetry, drawing and many other creative activities.
