Orange Dove Project
Community Art, Animal Advocacy, and Creative Participation
The Orange Dove Project was a participatory, socially engaged art project created in collaboration with Northern Illinois Special Recreation Association (NISRA). Conceived as "a radical pet-a-dogy," it playfully reimagined pedagogy through art, compassion, and our relationships with non-human animals. Bringing together people of all ages and abilities, participants explored empathy, creativity, and their relationships with non-human animals through drawing, painting, storytelling, and collaborative installation.
