M0652 008 International Society for Arts and Medicine The Healing Arts – Forging Alliances of Arts & Medicine Workshop Abstracts Berlin 20260618 20260620 26isfam008 TextA project in cooperation with the Department of Psychotherapy Sciences/FB Clinical Art Therapy of the Sigmund Freud Private University Berlin and the Antikensammlung of Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.This pilot project (January 2024 - March 2025) examines the role of art therapy in improving wellbeing within museum settings. Conducted by art therapists - postgraduate alumni from Sigmund Freud PrivatUniversität Berlin (SFU) – in collaboration with the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (SMB), the study explores art therapeutic approaches in non-clinical environments. The intervention consists of a monthly workshop series held at the Altes Museum, located on Berlin’s reconstructed Museum Island.The programme aims to strengthen collaborations between the arts and health sectors and pilot art therapeutic interventions in museums. The group is led by two art therapists working in tandem, exploring the intersection of art education and art therapy within museum settings. By integrating receptive art therapeutic tools in a non-clinical environment, the workshops foster deep introspection and promote trauma-informed practices, aligning with WHO recommendations to harness the healing power of the arts across the lifespan. Through Slow Looking art encounters, we create supportive environments that encourage eye-opening experiences, combining creative practices with calm, playful dialogue. 0 0 0 0
