Creativity and Art Outside of PSY
摘要
Creativity plays a fundamental role in fostering resilience and psychological well-being, offering individuals a means to process emotions, navigate challenges, and regain a sense of control over their experiences. Beyond emotional processing, creativity supports cognitive flexibility, encouraging individuals to approach problems from new perspectives and adapt to changing circumstances. This adaptive quality is relevant in the context of resilience, and it enables people to reframe adversity, imagine alternative possibilities, and reconstruct their sense of self beyond moments of crisis. Within creativity, artistic self-references are a performative act that constitutes a subjectivity in which identity, agency, memory, experience, and embodiment converge. In cases of trauma, processes that involve temporal organization, such as writing, comics, and theater, are especially revealing, as they allow pain to be narrated and structured, so that it can first be endured and then integrated. Being a woman places you in a specific position where you can observe and create, even if the fruits of that work have been rendered invisible throughout history. Throughout history, the art created by many women has been silenced, hidden, and punished. It is our mission to make visible and reclaim that past and present legacy that offers us new perspectives and hopes (Cometierra, Dolores Reyes; Las aventuras de China Iron, Gabriela Cabezón; Las primas, Aurora Venturini; Si no fueras tan niña, Sol Fantini): Hopes for free creativity and culture.
