In collaboration with EIU's Department of Public Health and Nutrition, the Tarble presents a public discussion on art and mental health moderated by Dr. Aimee Janssen-Robinson, Assistant Professor of Public Health and Nutrition, and featuring a panel of licensed social workers who maintain robust studio practices as working artists.
Join artists-in-residence Diane Christiansen and Jessie Mott with Charleston community member Dave Hunter to explore the ways that art can be a tool in caring for our collective mental health.

Friday,
February 9, 2024
9-10am
Free & open to the public
Join us at the Tarble on mornings following a new moon for a gentle yoga practice. With the metaphor provided by the darkest possible sky, we will consider the potentiality of blank space and new beginnings through heart-opening flows. All are welcome to join us in community care, movement, and intention-setting. No experience is required, but you will need to bring your own yoga mat or beach towel. We will practice outside in the Tarble’s bald cypress tree grove whenever weather permits, otherwise, we will bring our practice inside the galleries. You may wish to bring an extra towel and a closed water bottle. You are invited to arrive between 9–9:05am to get settled. The class will begin promptly at 9:05am and last for approximately 55 minutes.

5-6pm
Free & open to the public
Join us to experience a sound bath scheduled to coincide with the full moon and support collective stillness, gratitude, and reflection. The Tarble will provide a limited number of meditation cushions and chairs on a first-come, first-served basis. You may bring your own yoga mat or cushion to sit on if you choose. The Tarble maintains a temperature-controlled environment, so you may want to bring a sweater or wrap for warmth. You are invited to arrive between 5–5:15pm to get settled). When the sound bath begins promptly at 5:15pm, doors will be locked during the meditation, which will last for approximately 45 minutes. No prior experience is necessary, all are welcome, but space is limited.

Artists-in-residence Diane Christiansen and Jessie Mott will give an evening presentation on their collaborative visual art practice.
Diane Christiansen is a visual artist, musician, and social worker. Her interdisciplinary creative practice uses painting, drawing, animation, and large-scale installations to explore her fascination with impermanence, birth, death, decay, and interconnectedness. Her studio practice has evolved toward an increasingly collaborative and collective modality, and her projects have been exhibited across the United States and in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Jessie Mott is a visual artist whose practice focuses on themes of identity and power by exposing unstable perceptions of the queer body. Using an array of media such as painting, drawing, and animation, she gives life to creatures that negotiate permeable boundaries. Mott’s work has been exhibited widely, including in the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Whitney Biennial.
