CONDUIT
Murray Nossel: World Mother Storytelling Project
Douglas Safranek: Artist
Conduit weaves a tapestry of reverence, centering on the profound tales of those within the Sugar Hill community. These narratives, tenderly shared by community members, weave a rich fabric of homage to the mothers and nurturing figures who shaped their lives. Imbued within a captivating soundscape, the voices of neighbors and kin illuminate the diverse facets of motherhood.
The majestic egg tempera paintings, masterfully crafted by artist Douglas Safranek, breathe life into an ensemble of characters spanning generations and backgrounds, mirroring the voices that echo within the space. Positioned with a regal aura, these subjects cast a watchful, protective gaze over the community they helped nurture.
Conduit stands as a testament to the inaugural endeavor of the World Mother Storytelling Project, a global initiative marrying artistry with community engagement. Through the lens of maternal narratives, this project serves as a catalyst for education, healing, and empowerment, amplifying the universal significance of maternal bonds across cultures and borders.
