Corpórea debuted in 2025 in La Casita's gallery space with art created by community members during Art is Mindfulness. Created by Bennie Guzman, Art is Mindfulness is a weekly program for adults to enjoy space for self-reflection, develop creative expressions, and explore emotions.
The Corpórea exhibit at La Casita is the culmination of the work completed in Art as Mindfulness, and a powerful expression of La Casita's mission in practice. This program brought together Syracuse residents, mothers, grandmothers, artists, university students, and faculty into a shared space where creativity became both a tool and a language for connection. Individuals with very different backgrounds and life experiences came together to create, to share stories, and to learn from one another. In this process, art became less about the object produced and more about the relationship built, the wisdom exchanged, and the collective resilience affirmed.
