About Life On Earth Art
Unite. Create. Heal.
Chaos and overwhelm are the handmaidens of transformation. We need each other. To build a better world, we must come into community and heal personal and collective trauma through dialogue and creative expression.
Life On Earth Art brings together multi-media artists, social activists, community groups, and art therapists to co-create art for large-scale installations, protests, and public rituals to ignite societal healing and change.
Life On Earth Art (LOEA) was created to explore how the transformative power of art can help heal personal and collective trauma. By bringing people together to explore and raise awareness about injustices, Life On Earth Art aims to amplify relatedness, compassion, and healing. Life On Earth Art works with the iconography of Winged Hearts and cages to examine imprisonment and liberation in our society and to ask the questions, “What spells are we under in our culture that propagate hierarchy, caste, division and inhumanity? How can we break them?” With the Breaking the Spell art series, LOEA created three large cage installations to tour: The Spell, Spellbound and Unbound.
Life On Earth Art’s work has been featured at the Museum of Sonoma County, two installations highlighting particular topics of social injustice: the medical experimentation on 1000 children with cerebral palsy at a California mental hospital in the 1950s (Los Olvidados Liberados: The Forgotten Ones Set Free, 2018) and a tribute to human rights and over 500 human and earth rights defenders murdered around the globe, 2018-2019 (At the Heart of it All: Righting the World, 2019).
