The Opioid Project consists of 4-hour art making and audio storytelling workshops where participants create collages and share personal stories. The art and recorded stories contextualize and bring to life the human costs of the epidemic. The finished work is hung in community multimedia exhibitions where each artwork is paired with its audio story.
The storytelling portion is led by physician Dr. Annie Brewster founder of Health Story Collaborative and the art portion, by visual artist Nancy Marks.
The Opioid Project provides a safe place for those affected by the opioid epidemic to explore and process their personal experiences. Through artmaking and storytelling, and in collaboration with community partners, they strive to decrease stigma and promote positive social change through dialogue, education and advocacy.
