Brain Power: Self by Choice
with Rosa Pascual

Line-up 2024 .png

ACTIVITY STALL

In a world obsessed with appearance, dieting, and fat phobia that can be quite tricky. How much can our body image affect our sense of self-worth? Even though we are aware that "beauty standards" are subjective, variable, relative, and unrealistic; sometimes we may feel and act differently. We know it, but still would struggle to change our biased internal views.

 

Why do we choose the same thoughts and emotions over and over again when our brain is designed to actually break that cycle and change it? We just need to give it the opportunity.

 

Would you like to have the option to choose how you feel about yourself? Your brain is giving you 90 seconds to do so! As many times as you wish!!

 

You can also experience and see for yourself the impact of the choices of thoughts and emotions we make through interactive facial expression.

 

Self by Choice is a research led project looking at the neuroscience of body image and how it may affect our sense of self-worth and identity through the lens of art and creativity; understanding body image as an embodied and highly biased perception.
