In a yearlong residency project with RAIR, interdisciplinary artist Guadalupe Maravilla has developed new site-specific work to activate RAIR’s remediated Superfund site, a once-contaminated parcel of land. The project explores aspects of community engagement and the creative reuse of materials in the art making process. During his time at RAIR, Maravilla has taken a deep dive into exploring the making of gongs as healing instruments, finding and fabricating dozens of gongs to be used in the form of sound bath ceremonies.
The total grant amount represents project funding plus an additional 20% in unrestricted general operating support.
