to crack open - curated by Kelly Krugman

A curation by Kelly Krugman, Curator and Cultural Worker at SAVVY Contemporary - "In order to crack open something in yourself to allow you to be aware of the presence of ancestors’ spirits, you have to walk into nature with your emotional self, not with your intellectual self. You need to open wide your heart so that you can become moist and drink deeply from the emotional echoes that you receive from the frown of a gnarled tree or the twist of a branch." — Malidoma Patrice Somé, Dagara teacher and shaman
