Event
When the Body Speaks in Color: Emotion, Memory & the Creative Brain
a talk by
Andrea Cardenal
The ANNEX
290 SE 2nd Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida
May 17th, 2026 @ 2:00pm - 5:00pm
This talk examines art as a form of embodied communication — a language that originates in the nervous system and often precedes words. It will explore how emotional memory is stored in the brain and body, why visual expression activates deep limbic networks, and how color, gesture, and texture can communicate experiences that language cannot fully articulate.
