How can art help you navigate your emotions ? |Rebecca Hoffberger|

In this episode of the Arts to Hearts Podcast, Rebecca Hoffberger, the Creative Director of the American Visionary Art Museum, joins Charuka Arora to explore how art can help you navigate your emotions. Rebecca emphasizes the importance of intuitive intelligence, describing it as the highest form of human intelligence. She and Charuka discuss how artists and creators often rely on their intuition, allowing their creative process to guide them without always knowing the end result. This intuitive approach not only enhances their art but also helps them feel more aligned as individuals. Rebecca also touches on the darker aspects of art history, noting how figures like Hitler used art to demonize others. She stresses that not all artists are noble, and like everyone else, they have their flaws. Despite this, she seeks a "beauty of spirit" in art, which she believes infuses everything. Interestingly, Rebecca shares that many ancient cultures, such as the Greeks, Egyptians, and Hopi indigenous people, had no word for art. Yet, their creations were deeply expressive and significant. This perspective challenges us to see art not just as a skill but as a profound way of connecting with our inner selves and the world around us. Tune in to hear more about how embracing intuition and creativity can help you understand and express your emotions through art.
