Sponsored By: The Hahnemann Creative Arts in Therapy Program
November 2007
The Piece for Peace project was a community art therapy project created and orchestrated by Robin Valicenti, one of the alumnae from the Hahnemann Creative Arts in Therapy Program at the American Art Therapy Association (AATA) conference in Albuquerque, NM in November, 2007. Robin is Chair of the Art Committee for AATA.
Robin said, about the project "I collected the toys from thrift stores, friends and the like, smashed them in a machine shop, took them to NM and then focused on transforming the image, not just the message. It was an interesting process. I was very pleased with the outcome and had my concerns regarding it's success prior to the event. We were working with violent material and it was important that the images transform the violence and not simply reassemble, reconstruct or reconfigure it. It was challenging. I believe it spoke to how connected we are as a society to violence and how difficult it is to distance ourselves from it. "
