Juniper BowersSilver City -- The Silver City Museum's October 8 "community conversation" features Juniper Bowers, Kaya Lazzell and AnneLise Nachman of Silver City's Living Art Studio, who will discuss women's health and healing at all stages of life, for women of all ages. The event is free, and will be held from noon to 1:00 pm in the ABC Room of the Global Resource Center on the campus of WNMU.
In this powerful presentation, these women together will explore the challenges women face in prioritizing their own well-being, while also discussing resilience, self-discovery and the ongoing challenge of finding balance between caring for family, self and community. They will also share the story behind Living Arts Studio and its mission to support women at every life stage.
"We are deeply honored to host the founders of Living Art Studio," said Ana Trinidad, events manager at the museum. "These three Silver City women transformed their personal health struggles, and will share their journeys as part of this community conversation. This event reinforces the museum's role as a community space for supporting our community's long and varied traditions of health and healing within diverse cultures."
Kaya LazzellThe topic of this community conversation was chosen, in part, because it aligns so well with the museum's current exhibit, "Healers and Heroines: Women and the Shaping of Local Health Care," added Trinidad. The exhibit examines the questions, "What is health, what is health care, and how do we take care of each other?" The exhibit also explores the vital role that women have played throughout the history of health care in Grant County.
"Balancing life's responsibilities with caring for family and self are timeless themes for women," Trinidad said. "We're really looking forward to learning from the shared wisdom of these women, and about their collective vision for Living Arts Studio."
