2023 site-responsive work + guided walk and sound offering ceremony

During 2023, the succurro collaborative was formed, and we met weekly, exploring approaches to art-making in the context of inquiry and principles practiced at Succurro (particularly SourcePoint & Breakthrough). The Collaborative is currently made up Alex Goldberg, Julia Heck, Owyn Ruck, and myself, Zaida Adriana Goveo Balmaseda. For three weeks in June, we gathered on the land at Succurro in Residency — trading sessions every day, practicing periods of deep inquiry, and carrying out site-responsive projects that have emerged out of a year of collective research and support of one another’s processes. Most importantly, the ongoing process of ‘getting out of the way’ — the surrendering of individual stories, assumptions, and expectations of what it means to create art and be an artist.

On Saturday, June 24 we opened Pathways — the evolving exhibition of artworks made here on the land, coinciding with the Solstice Feast.
