Kimberlee Koym-Murteira has used ritual, dance, and the expressive arts to externalize trauma metaphorically and now brings those practices to others with the project Unseen to Seen. Exploring art as a regenerative process and nature as a source of replenishment. How can we share both more in the community to create healing as a consistent life practice? Unseen to Seen: Dialogues on Healing is a collaboration between Kimberlee, Allison Pasquesi, Daniel Alexander Jones, and Sylvie Minot responding to the pandemic- an intense time of isolation- how do we now reconnect? Outcomes included community-sourced totems, illuminated liquid-filled jars, plaster body casts, wearable sculptures, and video imagery brought together to form a healing space / immersive installation with sound by Laura Inserra.
