Discover the powerful tool of body map storytelling with Professor Sweet! Body mapping is the process of creating artistic representations of our bodies and connecting to feelings, sensations, visual symbols and memory. Through a lens of curiosity, care and community witnessing, we will explore our embodied responses to climate change and connect to our love for the earth. After tracing our bodies onto paper, three prompts will guide us as we use an assortment of art materials to fill in our maps.
