This conference
will include a new
Phoenix Project
exhibit, first
presented at our
2006 Denver
conference.
The Phoenix Project is
designed as an exhibit of
cult-related artwork created
by former members of cults,
or high-demand
organizations. The artworks
exhibited illustrate or
illuminate some aspect of
the cult or high-demand
experience: the world of
ex-members, their healing or
recovery, or their time of
transition from their cult
or high-demand organization.
Creations range among the
art forms, and include
visual artworks in two and
three dimensions, literary
art presentations, and
compositions of music.
