“A deeply considered, liberatory framework where art becomes a tool for survival, self-expression, and transformation…. I believe this will be a vital resource for clinicians, educators, and anyone invested in creating more compassionate, just, and creative possibilities for body-based and expressive arts healing.”
—JACKIE ARMSTRONG, MA (she/they), associate educator, visitor research and experience at The Museum of Modern Art
“Through vivid client narratives, Wednesdae bridges theory and practice and reminds us that arts therapies must ultimately make our clients’ lives more livable, hospitable, and joyful. A timely, essential read for anyone studying or supporting LGBTQIA+ lives through creative therapeutic practice.”
—ZACHARY D. VAN DEN BERG, MA, ATR-BC, LPC, author and editor of Queer Worldmaking in Art Therapy, art therapist and counselor, and president and founder of the Coalition for Queer Creative Arts Therapies, Inc.
“A master class in the art of healing. Wednesdae fuses expressive and somatic therapies with precision, compassion, and heart, showing how creativity can transform pain into power. Their writing moves, teaches, and inspires in equal measure—inviting readers to pick up the brush, the pen, or the dance step and reclaim their own narratives. This book doesn’t just inform; it ignites.”
