Where Angels Fear To Tread: Making Art That Heals the Broken Places | Lily Yeh
How do we transform a vicious circle into a virtuous circle? How do we move from environmental degradation and the deterioration of human relations to restoration? From war to peace – from hatred to compassion – from isolation to community? How can one person make a crucial difference? Painter and professor Lily Yeh‘s approach to community healing takes that which is broken and creates something whole and wholly new and beautiful through public art. From Philadelphia to Rwanda, broken places are her canvases. People’s stories are the pigments. People’s talents and creativity are the tools. At the heart of her work is the transformation of human heart. Video of Lily Yeh speaking at Bioneers 2009 This is an episode of the Bioneers: Revolution from the Heart of Nature series.
