Call for Stories from Women Artists

From Sabrina Chapadjiev:

LIVE THROUGH THIS

Cutting, anorexia, drug abuse, …there is no end to
the list of ways intelligent and creative women can
self-destruct. But what happens when women take the
same energy, discipline and conviction it takes to
destroy, and turn it towards creation?

"Live Through This" is anthology of hope from strong
women artists who've walked the razor's edge of
self-destruction, and made it safely to the other
side. It will chronicle artist's experiences with
depression, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse and
other self-destructive habits, explore alternative
coping methods, and reveal how these experiences
shaped their artistic process.

We want women artists strong enough to admit the time
they weren't. Did you stop cutting yourself and fuel
your rage into a punk band? What made you stop
looking at the bathroom scale and start looking at a
blank canvas? Tell us about the time you put the
bottle down and picked the pen up.

We're looking for your personal stories, first
person essays, photo-essays, and comic strips about
the time you used art to survive yourself. "Live
Through This" is an anthology of triumph which will
reach out to women currently struggling with
self-destructive tendencies and show them the power of
self-preservation through artistic expression.
