WHERE: Velo Cult, 1969 NE 42nd Ave, Portland, OR 97213
WHEN: Wednesday, May 30, 2018, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Anorexia nervosa is characterized by restricted food-intake, excessive exercise, and distorted body image. While research in rodent models aims to uncover the neurobiological basis of the disease, art helps to uncover the complex emotional and physical relationship between the human figure and our perception of self.
