Art Can Heal

Art Can Heal tells the remarkable story of the pioneering Icelandic artist and art therapist, Sigríður Björnsdóttir. From 1952 she developed methods to help children in hospitals experience, explore, and express their thoughts and emotions through art. Art Can Heal is an attempt by visual artist, Ágústa Oddsdóttir, to describe and share with the world the impact and magic that art therapy with Sigrídur had on her life. Art Can Heal also includes interviews with Sigríður by Hans-Ulrich Obrist and Egill Sæbjörnsson.
