A couple of weekends ago I had the privilege in participating in a 2 day event as part of Mexico City based artist's Pedro Reyes exhibition The People's United Nations at the Hammer Museum. For the two days I facilitated what Pedro called "Foreign Affairs Therapy," where two delegates representing nations that share historical connections yet have spent much of their past in the turmoil of conflict, where invited to join in a kind of couples therapy trying to work together to improve communication, understanding, and looking for ways to rebuild and strengthen partnership. It was a transformational experience for me. I had the privilege of working with people representing countries like Israel & Palestine, Armenia & Turkey, and USA & Mexico to name a few. The conversations that happened were powerful and rich. I am still digesting it all and imagine I will for some time. Some pics from the weekend follow:
