Wellbeing Talk Ep1 | Storytelling Circle through Visual Arts & Body Memory

This is more than an art class; it is a Storytelling Circle
About this Event

🇬🇧 Overview

Your body is a living archive—a map of rhythms, transitions, and memories that belongs only to you.

For too long, the stories of our physical changes have been narrated by others: through the cold, clinical lens of medicine or the unrealistic, silent ideals of classical art.

This talk is an invitation to reclaim that story. It is a radical space to stop, breathe, and finally name your experience in your own voice, within a community that listens.

This is a Storytelling Circle where the exchange of experiences happens simultaneously with the act of creation. No previous art experience is required; we use art as a "silent language" that often speaks more fluently than words.

We will talk about:

• Body Cycles: Re-naming our experiences of menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, or illness. We move away from clinical taboos to find our own personal meaning in these biological transitions.

• Territory & Migration: How do we inhabit a body that has traveled? We explore the intersection of body and territory, especially for those of us occupying spaces—like new countries or professional fields—not always designed for women.

• Labor & the "Invisible Muse": Exploring our identity in the workplace and at home. We ask: "Who am I when I am not caregiving? Am I seen? Am I heard?"

The speaker:

Linda Catalina Villamarín (Bogotá, 1990) is a writer, artist, and art historian with a feminist focus.

Her doctoral research in Art and Heritage at the University of Seville focuses on the representation of the menstrual cycle in contemporary graphic art from a critical and gender perspective.

She holds Master’s degrees in Creative Writing and in Performing Arts.

Her background in classical ballet, which she pursued alongside her studies in Fine Arts, has shaped her interest in creative processes linked to the body.

She is the founder of the social media project: Linda en la Luna, a space for outreach and reflection on graphic art, the cyclic body, and creativity.

She is also the author of the novels Atadas (2023) and Bitácora hacia la Vía Láctea (2025).
