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. The lecture will also explore how art functions as a container for collective and inherited memory — particularly within cultures shaped by migration\, displacement\, resilience\, and layered histories. In this way\, creative practice becomes not only personal expression\, but a bridge between generations.This offers a rich intersection of science\, emotion\, and cultural identity\, inviting the audience to understand art as a biological\, relational\, and deeply human act. Andrea Cardenal\, a self-taught\, third-generation Latin American artist and therapeutic art instructor\, grew up in a family of opera singers\, painters\, and writers. Born in the USA to a Salvadoran mother and Nicaraguan father\, her childhood in El Salvador during its civil war shaped her early connection to art as a means of emotional expression. She holds Master’s Degrees in Art Therapy & Communications Management. serving creative & colorful canapes 								\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n					\n		\n					\n		\n				\n						\n					\n			\n						\n				\n					Event RSVP				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			\n			 \n		\n		\n			\n			 \n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n			 \n		\n		\n			\n			 \n		\n	\n	\n		\n			\n			 \n		\n	\n	I agree with the site’s privacy policy.
