Facing out: Belonging and facial disfigurement
Faces are important to humans – they house personal, social and symbolic information. In our appearance-conscious society a sense of belonging and the way you look have become increasingly important. However there are estimated to be over 400,000 people in the UK severely affected by facial disfigurement.
In this workshop, participants will be asked to consider the relationship between face perception, belongingness and ‘disfigurement’. They will hear short presentations, will take part in an art session exploring self-identity and will be asked to share their views on belongingness and facial disfigurement after the art session.
