Creative Rituals

How do artists use rituals as deeply personal gestures to inform and enrich their creative practice, and to connect to larger communities, identities, and places? Our guests, Sara Daniele Rivera and Tintawi Kaigziabiher, share ways in which art can offer meaningful experiences of healing, both on the individual and collective planes.
