Catharsis Art Theme:
“Our Journey Home”
Catharsis on the Mall's 2016 art theme is dedicated to those who have had traumatic events disrupt or destroy their lives and our healing journey.
We gather to honor healing. We gather for art and community. We gather to shake free from the stigmas and guilt of surviving. We gather to honor and support those who travel this road alongside us. We gather to end the silent suffering of millions. We are on our journey home.
