“The past is not a burden; it is a scaffold which brought us to this day. We are free to be who we are—to create our own life out of our past and out of the present. We are our ancestors. When we can heal ourselves, we also heal our ancestors, our grandmothers, our grandfathers and our children. When we heal ourselves, we heal Mother Earth.”

Words sent to me from a dear friend, sharing the wisdom of Rita Pikta Bluemstein, one of the founding members of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers - an unprecedented global alliance of indigenous female elders who came together in 2004 to protect our planet in crisis and envision a future for the next seven generations.
A body of voices, performative painting in and of itself. Past, present, future. Healed / healing. Mini Kat, My Being & I moving forward together.
