In early 2021, popular multimedia artist Anna Marie Tendler checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression, and self-harm. Tendler is now ready to share her experience, the growth undertaken, and talk about the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century, oftentimes at the hands of men in their lives. Join Chicago Humanities for an authentic conversation on mental health, the modern realities of womanhood, and the ways in which art can carry us through.
