OUR MISSION
The International Roots Art Project connects nature, women, and art—bringing together women-identified and non-binary artists from diverse backgrounds. Our collective focus rests on the intrinsic beauty of the natural world and the imperative need to safeguard our environment.
We celebrate the profound symbolism of trees, delving into the intricate tapestry of their roots that mirror the interconnectedness of all life forms. Just as roots anchor a tree, binding it to the earth, so too do they bind us—to our shared humanity, our ancestral legacies, the embrace of our families, and the journeys of migration that define us.
The International Roots Art Project is a platform for connection and advocacy. Through our art, we amplify our voices, weaving a narrative that transcends borders and foments social change.
We are committed to amplifying a wide variety of voices and viewpoints. Artwork acceptance and inclusion to this global art community will be moderated by Marguerite Elliot and Elizabeth Addison, San Francisco Bay Area visual artists and The Roots International Art Project creators.
THANK YOU
The Roots International Art Project is grateful to the amazing artists who submitted diverse artwork in all media. Their practices are inspired by the natural world, our shared planet, and art that focuses on trees, their roots, and the interconnectedness of all living things. That includes works that focus on our connections with each other, no matter where we live.
