Nearly half the world’s population spends an average of two hours a day scrolling, clicking, swiping, and liking, while the more nefarious amongst us use these platforms to bully, misinform, disarray, exploit, and abuse each other. And while Facebook’s director of research even once suggested that the answer to the mental health issues caused by the platform was to simply become a more active user, producer Khyriel Palmer investigated a different approach.

It was developed and honed at the New York State Psychiatric Institute, where Margaret Naumberg promoted " the release of spontaneous imagery" through drawing, painting, scribbling, and interpreting the symbols that were left on the canvas. Today, the American Art Therapy Association has thousands of members, and the field of Creative Arts Therapy has broadened to include the use of everything from dance to theater to music to heal. In both her artistic and therapeutic practices, Brooklyn-based artist Amelia Moore uses color, contrast, and visual contradiction to make light of the darkness that comes from being constantly bombarded with bad news.
