Swoon

Swoon’s work centers the transformative capacity of art as a catalyst for healing within communities experiencing crisis.“For me, Swoon is not quite a name but more like a code word for the trickster’s belief in miracles. If you break a rule over here and move a boundary over there, and have a moment of creative play, and create something of beauty—through all of those actions, combined with a lot of dedication, you can start to create little cracks in the facade of impossibility and inevitability. Through those cracks little possibilities come up, and they ask to be born. And then they’re born and they start unifying and linking with each other, and that’s a really powerful force. And that’s the force I live my life by.” - Swoon
