COMMUNITY PROJECT

Ash Robinson is collaborating with the Little Red Door Cancer Agency, a longtime provider of free support services for individuals and families impacted by cancer in Central Indiana, on The Power in Transformation, a series of art-making workshops and conversations centered on how breast cancer treatment affects the body. The Power in Transformation creates space for breast cancer survivors to share personal stories that speak to how their bodies, identities, and sense of self have been shaped by treatment and recovery. By centering these voices, the conversations will honor the emotional and physical realities of survivorship while fostering connection and recognition among those who may see themselves reflected in these experiences.

Drawing inspiration from her own journey as a breast cancer survivor, Ash hopes that the workshops and conversations will contribute to a larger narrative that challenges silence and stigma of treatment. While much of the project unfolds through workshops and shared dialogue, Ash envisions the creation of a collaborative artwork inspired by these lived experiences, one that reflects the complexity, vulnerability, and strength within the Little Red Door community
