How survivor artists collaborate across different healing narratives

My creative partner and I are working on a project about resilience and survival but we're realizing our trauma histories are showing up in our artistic choices in ways that conflict - they want to focus on triumph and healing while I need to include the ongoing struggle and complexity. Our different relationships to our survivor identity are affecting every creative decision.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two creators are finding that their distinct relationships to their own survival are producing competing visions for shared artistic expression.
