The artists in Healers and Dreamers have a shared interest in community care and healing practices. They combine their role as artists with that of therapists, healers, shamans, activists and oracles. Philosophically and practically their work emphasizes the importance of care, rest, dreamtime, meditation, connection, grieving and repairing as critical components to healing, resistance and liberation.
For the artists in this exhibition, care is a radical and necessary act which has the power to dismantle extractive systems where people and resources are used up and tossed aside, championing regenerative models that utilize self-renewing and adaptive principles to maintain health and longevity both personally and socio-politically.
The artworks in Healers and Dreamers provide us with strategies for honoring and caring for ourselves and each other. They offer techniques for grieving and healing the past, creating connection, protection and safety in the present and encouraging dreaming, creative thinking and liberation for the future.
