LIMBS

Limbs Making: (2 events)
-At Rotary Park in Mendocino, Friday, July 31 2–5 PM
-At Mendocino Art Center, Saturday, August 1 1–5 PM

“Limbs” is a series of gatherings where we come together to create rituals of regeneration. Through collective making, we transform grief, anger, and despair into acts of solidarity, imagination, and care.
For the first ritual, we invite our communities to gather and create clay limbs in honor of the countless bodies we have witnessed in pieces over the past years.

Through our hands, we will shape fragments as we find strength, solidarity and joy in our shared struggle, and honor the countless bodies we have witnessed in pieces over the last years.
The clay limbs created through these gatherings will later be fired, exhibited, and offered for sale as a fundraiser supporting reconstructive limb surgery and grassroots relief initiatives responding to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Lebanon through the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund.

LIMBS: “Blastema” (Firing Ceremony): (1 event)
At MAC Thursday, August 6 Time TBD

An Earth Firing Ceremony Following the collective creation of clay limbs, we bury the clay limbs in the earth as they transform in a ceremony of poetry, song and story.

The fired limbs will become part of the Limbs exhibition and will be offered for sale as a fundraiser supporting reconstructive limb surgery and grassroots relief initiatives responding to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and Lebanon through the Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund. This ritual honors the bodies and lands affected by violence while creating space for collective imagination and healing.
