 The
Men’s Project is an undertaking which promotes the creativity
of the human spirit and the process of healing by exploring
the expectations and experiences of being male in today’s
culture. The project currently sponsors a number of workshops
regarding men, love, body image, and intimacy. The
Men’s Project is always in search of creative ideas
and energy to promote its purpose of representing issues regarding
men in current culture. If you would like to be involved,
please contact Dr. Randy Beggs at (404) 478-4167 ext. 2.
Sponsored by The Men’s Project, "Mirror, Mirror
on the Wall" explores the roots of male body obsession,
masculinity, men and eating disorders, the quest for muscularity
and the concerns of men beyond muscle and fat. Mirror, Mirror
produces both a workshop and a frequent art showing at the
Hungry Souls art exhibition.
The educational workshop offers men the opportunity to begin
to examine their feelings about eating, food, and weight,
the messages carried in their bodies, the experience of manhood
and their relationship to self, truth, soul, and body.
The art exhibition is an installation
about men, body image, and the objectification of the male
body through cultural and social shaping. The exhibit forms
a connectedness of creative process and the human spirit as
a way of giving voice to the struggles, joys, and fears of
living in a male body in today’s society.
