Kintsugi: Creativity and Connection Through Photography
Kintsugi marks the culmination of a year-long collaboration between CEPA Gallery and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s Young Adults Program. The collaboration featured a series of seven-week classes, drop-in workshops, photo walks, and community events, providing as many spaces as possible for the participants to come together and connect through art.
Inspired by the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, Kintsugi represents the idea that beauty can be found in the process of repair and transformation. While not focused solely on healing, the program allowed participants to document their lives, offering a glimpse into their personal experiences and growth.
Kintsugi is a celebration of creativity, community, and the power of photography to help people explore and express their identities. It offers a platform for young adults to share their work, their journeys, and the connections they’ve made along the way.
Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center’s commitment to holistic care is reflected in this collaboration with CEPA Gallery, where art and creativity play a vital role in both personal expression and therapy. Join us in celebrating the vision and creativity of these participants as they share their photographic stories with the world.
This program is supported by the Joe and Kathy Curatolo Endowment.
