Limbs

"Limbs” is a series of gatherings where we can co-create our rituals of regeneration. As destruction of lands, shelter, peoples, hopes and ideals continues under the hands of out of control, self-righteous, weaponized humans, we can grow the ability and imagination to create & perform our rites of healing, instead of entrapping our wounds with trauma and despair.

In the first art making ritual, we invited people from many paths to create clay limbs in honor of the countless bodies we have witnessed in pieces over the last year. The second, “Blastema” fired the clay in the earth through a collective ceremony of poetry, song and story. Staged at Indexical, the third invites you to experience and connect to the charred limbs as portals to parallel realities that are inexorably intertwined with our own, with the burning possibilities in our hearts. The exhibition includes workshops, performances and an installation of the Limbs sculptures. 

For the duration of this exhibition, all related artwork sales and ticket sales will pass through Indexical toward supporting reconstructive limb surgery and grass roots relief initiatives responding to the humanitarian and shelter disaster in Gaza and Lebanon via the The Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund.
