If you buy one DVD from this years Bioneers Conference (2009), make it this one: The Rwanda Healing Project: Bringing Hope through Art and Creative Action
She gave one of the most inspiring talks I've ever heard. If there had been a plane parked outside, I think everyone in the auditorium would have followed her anywhere!
"This internationally celebrated artist works to bring the transformative power of art to impoverished and war-torn communities around the world to foster community empowerment, improve the physical environment, promote economic development and preserve indigenous art and culture. She portrays a heart-breakingly beautiful project (described in Terry Tempest Williams' latest book Finding Beauty in a Broken World) exemplifying how art can begin to heal the environment as well as the hearts and minds of the traumatized people."
