This is building day four for our creation! In this video, Lea begins to wrap chicken wire over the dress skirt on the art sculpture figure. See how she puts it together! Our heart message of this day is to stay strong! Stay strong our Filipino brethren hit by the typhoons!
Hearts For Haiyan is a community awareness art project by Filipino Artist Lea May Rivera. We use written paper hearts of loving messages from the public, turning it into 3d art forms. The art piece created serves as encouragement to all who were devastated with loss & currently face rehabilitation problems by the Typhoon. The art piece is geared for exhibition of the one year memorial event, "Typhoon Haiyan, One Year Later: Remembrance and Reconstruction," to be held on October 2014, at the Assembly Hall, International House, University of Chicago. Spearheaded by the Filipino American National Historical Society, Midwest Chapter and cosponsored by the University of Chicago, this 3-hour afternoon event will consist of 2 parts: a multi-media display (photographs, video clips, artwork) and a live program (readings, an interfaith prayer, one choral number, and a moderated conversation between selected speakers and the audience. Admission is free.
