“Stories from the Core” is a collaborative art project that seeks to bear witness to grief—the grief of individuals across Oklahoma, and the grief of the land itself—as a movement towards healing. This project uses storytelling practices, mixed media art, and the natural beauty and power of the earth to facilitate intimate moments of mourning, in which community members honor their losses and open themselves up to hope. Drawing on the transformative powers of the natural world, “Stories from the Core” invites communities to experience the land as a force for healing.
