In a vibrant art studio at the HomeFront homeless shelter in Ewing, Ruthann Traylor says she is “rebuilding souls.” Traylor’s ArtSpace program is a special kind of therapy — a creative outlet for people damaged by the trauma of poverty. When it comes to the art, there are no rules, Traylor says. The results are usually uplifting for residents, but sometimes, the art is just as good. Works by ArtSpace artists are on show at the Bernstein Gallery at Princeton University. The exhibit, titled “How You See Me,” was inspired by research that found homeless people are judged the most harshly among all social groups, resulting in dehumanizing stereotypes. The art is a response to those findings. (Video by Nyier Abdou/The Star-Ledger)
