Self by Choice

You & Your Body. The neuroscience of body image, self-worth and identity.

Body image understood as an embodied highly biased perception and focusing on transformation.

Self by Choice is a research led project with the aim to offer a platform to reach out, share and strengthen an ever-growing voice through the lens of art and creativity.

The aim is for the audience to see for themselves the impact of the choices of thoughts and emotions they make; how these trigger internal neurochemistry, physiology and belief formation; and ultimately, to look at the brain’s inherent “tools” to implement change.
