An Art Therapist's Calling: Clinician, Artist, Researcher
Exhibition at LASALLE College Of The Arts
Ngee Ann Kongsi Library
September 13- October 11, 2019

This exhibition was a joint initiative by the Art Therapist Association of Singapore (ATAS) and LASALLE College Of The Arts aiming to expose the Singapore community to the profession of Art Therapy. Each Art Therapist volunteered to participate, created artistic boxes that represents their professional identity and themselves.

Art Making and Identity Integration:
Cultural, Professional, and Social Development


The concept of professional identity has been defined as integrating professional training and personal attributes within the context of a professional community. In what ways experiences of art making influence the therapist’s learning process and development? 

How new identity is being constructed and actualized through the creative process? With examples from my own journey, I discussed aspects of identity development of the art therapist, arguing that art making may support self-exploration and identity formation both for the therapist and the client.

This was an interaction exhibition, as viewers were invited to look at the boxes, and Art Therapists were given the opportunity to recommend 3 books from the LASALLE library that was influential to their work.
