This art-based research paper seeks to report on the researcher’s responses to the following questions: How can a culturally sensitive art therapy process provide a space for an Iranian art therapy student to connect with her inherited cultural wisdom and use the knowledge of her ancestors to rewrite her own narrative? And how might this process contribute to a positive configuration of hybrid and diasporic identity in relation to different categories of ethnic, social, and professional identities? This research addresses the necessity of incorporating culturally sensitive materials in the healing process of ethnic minorities; in this case, literature and poetry for Iranian diaspora who carry a collective trauma and facing ethnic and identity crises after displacement in Canada. The writer’s personal creative exploration of ethnic identity when her social identity was weakened led to the creation of a diasporic and hybrid identity. The findings of this research could be of interest to therapists and mental health professionals working with Iranian diaspora who would like to increase their awareness of the acculturation process and the importance of building cultural understanding regarding the social context and associated identity crisis among Iranian diaspora from collective trauma and learn how traditional knowledge of healing could help recreate a new narrative.
