About the Instructor:
As a first-generation Taiwanese-American immigrant, EJ Liao offers trauma-informed art therapy to at-risk immigrant and refugee populations with limited access to care. She views art therapy as a powerful integration of her expertise in fine arts, art history, and psychotherapy, as well as a meaningful alternative to traditional, pathologizing Eurocentric approaches to mental health. An advocate for Museotherapy, Liao's dedication to healing extends to community-based art therapy workshops, centering collective healing and empowerment for marginalized communities.
