Abstract This study explored the therapeutic value of sharing artwork in a public exhibition called Bearing Witness by individuals who experienced trauma through stillbirth, infertility, or miscarriage. This qualitative study investigated the experiences of seven women who exhibited artwork about their losses or attended as witnesses. Results revealed that sharing artwork supported the trauma treatment process of reintegration and therapeutic benefits emerged from participation in a supportive community show. Before exhibiting the women felt isolated, during the exhibition they felt validated, and after exhibiting they made meaning. Participation reduced stigma, making visible the infrequently discussed topic of pregnancy loss and the research produced a film which serves as a method to impact social awareness and change.

关于流产、不孕症和死产的展览和电影：艺术治疗的影响

摘要 本研究探讨了在一个名为 Bearing Witness 的公共展览中分享艺术品的治疗价值，这些展览由因死产、不孕或流产而遭受创伤的个人组成。这项定性研究调查了 7 位展示自己损失的艺术品或作为证人出席的女性的经历。结果表明，分享艺术作品支持了创伤治疗的重新融入过程，并且参与了支持性的社区表演会产生治疗效果。展览前，女性感到孤立，展览期间，她们感到被认可，展览后，她们变得有意义。参与减少了耻辱感，使不常讨论的流产这一话题变得可见，研究制作了一部影片，作为影响社会意识和变革的一种方法。
