A collaborative community-built project co-led by Heidmous and Bond, “EarthFest” engagement opportunity facilitated by AnaMarie King.
Originally installed at Femme Fatale DC in Cleveland Park, DC, May 2021.
Walls We Build is an artist-led project interrogating the physical, metaphorical, societal, and institutional barriers constructed to disempower people. This community-built installation is indicative of what vision, leadership, education, place-making, facilitation, opportunity, and autonomous beings working together might accomplish.
