URCAD Sneak Peek!

Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 24, where Animation major Susanna Abler will screen her video “BFRB: An Animated PSA” in the Fine Arts Recital Hall at 2 p.m.

Susanna says, "I suffer from a body focused repetitive disorder (or BFRB) called Trichotillomania, which means I have a compulsive need to pull out my own hair. It’s something I’ve struggled with for much of my life. There’s not much out there in regards to awareness or treatments for this disorder. Previously, I’d wanted to do a series of drawings about my struggles, representing my body as a garden I was destroying. However, they didn’t work out so I put that idea on the back-burner."
