Art therapy explores taboo topic of hospice care
The MA Art Therapy Programme partnered with Dover Park Hospice to present a unique art exhibition, Hospice is… comprising art contributions from people from all walks of life, including many who attended hands-on sessions at LASALLE to express their thoughts on end-of-life care through art.
The objective of the project was to raise awareness of the often misunderstood subject of hospice and palliative care, offering the public a fresh perspective on a topic commonly regarded as taboo. At the hands-on sessions, the public got to work with a wide selection of art materials to create their art on ceramic dove figurines, of which some were selected for the exhibition. The exhibition was launched by the President of Singapore, Mr Tony Tan Keng Yam on 3 October 2013.
