In this episode of 'Art Heals All Wounds', I explore the transformative power of art with playwright and activist Catherine Filloux, focusing on her work that highlights human rights and the stories of survivors. Catherine discusses her upcoming one-woman play, 'How to Eat an Orange', inspired by the life of artist and activist Claudia Bernardi and her experiences during the military junta rule in Argentina. The episode delves into the themes of storytelling, the importance of remembering as a revolutionary act, and how art can serve as a map towards healing and human rights advocacy. Catherine also touches on her other upcoming project, an off-Broadway musical titled 'Welcome to the Big Dipper'. The discussion emphasizes the role of art in addressing trauma, fostering connection, and promoting social change.
