The Estuaries Project is the artistic dream of Kendra Hicks, EL 2017 Participant. Contribute to the Kickstarter here and we will post the exact dates the installs will go live shortly.

We’re in a time right now where everything seems to be on coming undone and as a movement, we’re spending a disproportionate and necessary amount of time putting out fires and resisting the systems of oppression we have to navigate every day. This project is an invitation, for people who want to spend time thinking about, playing with and helping cultivate life affirming systems. How will we use these endings as beginnings? What new ecosystems will we leave behind? How will we respond to this moment with the creative vision and spiritual audacity necessary to thrive? [click here for an example] 

This phase of the project is focused on honoring the lives of these women through installations that will be erected at the location where they were found on the 40th anniversary of their deaths. [If you know these women or know any surviving family members please contact me here]
