New Center for Psychoanalysis (NCP) in conjunction with MOCA's exhibition: '"Wack! Art and the Feminist Revolution" (March 4th to July 29th at the MOCA Geffen Contemporary) and in collaboration with the Simms/Mann - UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology presents

BEYOND WORDS AND TIME
WOMEN FIGHT CANCER THROUGH ART
April 30, to June 30, 2007
Monday-Friday: 10 am to 5 pm

This exhibition focuses on a contemporary feminist revolution - women fighting cancer.
Art making in a group setting makes the cancer experience more transparent for the woman with cancer, her family and other fellow patient-artists. The art expression also creates opportunities for healing, formation of a new healthy identity, greater control, spiritual quests, expression of unconscious fantasies and fears, and a way to mourn losses. The healing power of art is a complementary, active approach to illness integrated within traditional medicine. Art making is a powerful tool for self-expression and self-awareness and a cultural phenomenon that raises awareness of physical vulnerabilities.
