At the Heart of It All: Righting the World at the Museum of Sonoma County, Sept 28-Nov 10

[Larry Robinson]

Artist and activist Tracy Ferron works for social justice one heart at a time through her public and community art projects.  Tracy explores themes of trauma, imprisonment and liberation through the imagery of winged hearts and cages.  Her community (he)art-making workshops work to resolve trauma and foster community resilience and social action.   

Her current exhibition is At the Heart of It All: Righting the World at the Museum of Sonoma County, Sept 28-Nov 10, as part of their annual Dia de Los Muertos exhibit.  Tracy is giving an artist’s talk at the museum Saturday, Nov 2nd, 1-2 p.m. 

The centerpiece of this installation is a 9-ft winged heart tribute to the 500 activists around the world who have been murdered fighting for justice since 2018.  These 500 names are inscribed on the heart and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth are etched onto the wings.  The exhibition also features photographs and short films of Tracy’s Life on Earth Art Project.
