Routes to Interiorities: Art Therapy and Knowing in Anthropology
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: In this article we explore the relationship between feminist art therapy and anthropology. We suggest that there is a series of congruities between a feminist approach to art therapy and strands of contemporary anthropological practice concerned with understanding other people's interior thoughts and the potential of art to make critical interventions. To examine these issues we position feminist art therapy approaches at an interface between existing explorations that have created intersections between anthropology and both arts and therapeutic practices. In this context we will suggest that the application of the methodologies developed in feminist art therapy can combine the potential suggested by both of these approaches, to offer anthropologists routes to understanding interiorities and interventions in conventional narrative forms of representation.
