New blog post! I wrote about making art as emotion regulation. I connect it to expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal, from James Gross's work.
I'm looking for British artists - ideally from marginal backgrounds, including BIPOC, disabled, working class, queer etc, who work on the environment and climate from an activist perspective. If can think of any names (or if that describes you!) please do let me know.
And boost for visibility please - thank you all kindly
