2022 — Present

An interactive installation that aims to cultivate cultural intimacy through intersectional decolonization practices, Tree + Oyster create loops as a ritual to stoke embodied memory to supplant historical erasure. Through myth making and tool use, they facilitate small groups co-creating bridges from the land to sea imagining sustainable ecologies.
