Writer Emily Rapp Black, and artist Carrie Scanga, will interpret viewers\u2019 stories of medical circumstances in visual and textual forms in an ever-changing paper installation accompanied by written text. In each venue, viewers are invited to record and submit their stories within the immersive installation. After each venue, Scanga and Black will dismantle the sculpture and read\/listen to all submitted stories, identifying moments of rupture, healing, working-through, and\/or peace.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on viewers\u2019 submissions, the collaborators will change both the paper structure of the installation and the textual accompaniment. Blacks\u2019 accompanying essays will provide intellectual context by interweaving viewers\u2019 submitted stories with trauma theory, philosophy, and personal experience. All submissions will be kept anonymous. <em>SANCTUARY <\/em>is a living installation, a space that hears experiences of those working in, admitted to, or visiting medical centers.

The changing installation echoes the idea that collective storytelling acts as a dynamic vehicle for individual and social change. <em>SANCTUARY <\/em>demonstrates new ways of thinking about peoples\u2019 life experiences that involve medical care, moving beyond commonly-used terms such as \u201csurvival\u201d and \u201cresiliency.\u201d Rather than viewing recovery as the end goal, our project encourages medical conditions and recovery to co-exist, giving visual and verbal forms to both processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organized for UNE by Cally Gurley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div id=\"une_library_gallery_link_block-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" class=\"une_library_gallery_link_block layout- \"><a class=\"link-block\" data-fancybox-delegate=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" href=\"javascript:;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/sanct1-720x720.jpg\" alt=\"hanging perforated panels surrounding a small writing desk\" \/><span class=\"title\">SANCTUARY Image Gallery<\/span><\/a><div class=\"gallery-images\" style=\"display:none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/sanct1-scaled.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"hanging perforated panels surrounding a small writing desk\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/scanga_2-scaled.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"writing desk with paper and pencils in a small wooden box from Sanctuary Exhibit\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/sanctuary.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"view of writing desk inside paper cutout panels of SANCTUARY exhibit\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/47440AF8-C4CA-4F07-91AC-E15E65F85446.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"View of SANCTUARY exhibit in gallery space\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/scanga-1.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"painting of ferry boat at night with lights lit.\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/scanga_4sm.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"painting from Sanctuary Exhibit in gallery space\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/scanga_3-scaled.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"paintings from Sanctuary Exhibit in gallery space\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/art-galleries\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/scanga_5-scaled.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"gallery-block_67b57de9e06cb076d0f790cd70a99988\" data-caption=\"\" data-alt=\"Sanctuary Exhibit in gallery space\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>SANCTUARY<\/em> Video Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SANCTUARY at the UNE Ketchum Library Art Gallery, Biddeford\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/O4LEhZIZjQY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From the Installation: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Navigating the space\/Navigating your memories<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This space invites you to remember a time in your life when you experienced rupture, whether joyful or traumatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you are surrounded by the water of your memory.
