SUMMARY:Art Exhibition Opening Reception: Do You See Me?
DESCRIPTION:Please join us to celebrate the opening of Countway Library's 
 newest art exhibition: \n\nDo You See Me?\n\nPaintings of Postpartum Trauma 
 and Healing \nby S. Abbas Shobeiri\n\n\nThe opening reception will feature 
 remarks by the artist\, a guided tour of the exhibition\, and light 
 refreshments.\n\nAll are welcome! Please RSVP above. \n\nAbout the 
 Exhibition\n\nPresented through Countway's Art@Countway initiative in 
 partnership with GlobalMentalHealth@Harvard\, this exhibition offers a 
 deeply personal and moving journey through the emotional realities of 
 postpartum trauma and recovery. Drawing upon nearly three decades of caring 
 for women after childbirth\, Dr. Shobeiri communicates his patients' 
 experiences through large-scale paintings that illuminate the 
 often-overlooked physical and psychological effects of birth trauma\, 
 including postpartum post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Do You See Me? 
 traces seven stages of postpartum trauma and recovery—from shock to 
 renewal—bringing visibility to maternal experiences that too often remain 
 unseen. Learn more about the exhibition and the artist at 
 countway.info/see. \n\nOn view on the first floor of Countway Library from 
 September 1\, 2026 through January 15\, 2027.\n\nAbout the Artist\n\nS. 
 Abbas Shobeiri\n\nDr. Shobeiri is an internationally recognized physician\, 
 researcher\, educator\, inventor\, and professor of Obstetrics and 
 Gynecology\, Medical Education\, and Biomedical Engineering. His pioneering 
 exhibition first debuted in Washington\, D.C.\, where it received national 
 media attention\, before traveling to additional institutions dedicated to 
 medicine and the humanities. \n\nDr. Shobeiri was an artist before becoming 
 a healer. He emphasizes the connection between mind and heart\, soul and 
 body. His paintings promote emotional literacy and break social taboos 
 surrounding childbirth\, depression\, and PTSD-C. Drawing on decades of 
 first-hand experience caring for mothers\, he brings an empathetic lens to 
 the maternal experience.
