The Humanities and Human Flourishing Project is an interdisciplinary research project based at the University of Pennsylvania which explores how engaging in arts and culture brings well-being to individuals and communities. As part of this conversation from January 2026, Potash presented “Arts-based and Art Therapy Strategies for Pursuing Peace” to demonstrate how art therapists and mental health practitioners can focus on individual and interpersonal wellbeing with attention to social dynamics and citizenship for a holistic approach to health.
