Welcome to: Public Works

Public Works is a series of new interactive, experiential public art installations exploring regenerative practices and our connections with each other.

As communities, we rely on infrastructure to support utilities, roads, and libraries, etc.

What if we had publicly available and socially acceptable spaces to repair harms caused in relationships and to practice new ways of being in connection?

I am imagining a relational public work infrastructure - the spaces to repair relationships and practice new ways of being in connection. 

How might we create spaces for alchemy of these irreplaceable intangibles? How might we reimagine connection and power in ways that are liberatory and disruptive so that regenerative practices can emerge?
