Got a broken heart?
We are teaming up with the School of the Art Institute’s Disability Culture & Activism Lab and Access Living to bring back the Broken Heart Clinic! The Broken Heart Clinic is a project that crip artist Sandie Yi created and facilitated for Access Living from 2013-2015.
Aching for someone? Broken hearted from broken systems? Disappointed with neglect and nonresponse?
Join us for some community and art making, two time-tested ways to care for all kinds of broken hearts.
We’ll talk a little bit about the Broken Heart Clinic and then have some time for making broken-heart art. Request a kit ahead of time and work on it, engage in one of the guided practices we’ll offer, or do your own (sewing, drawing, writing, moving) thing!

To have the kit in time for this event, please fill out a request form by February 5th.

What's in a kit?
We will mail you a small fabric pouch to represent your broken heart. Embellish it however you like-- add some embroidery stitches, decorate it with your favorite pin, write or draw on it with marker, add glitter, whatever you want to do. You can also decide to enclose a meaningful object in the pouch. We have asked about some accessibility options below, including being paired with a collaborator who can carry out the art-making you describe.
