Re(center)ed is a community healing project at this year’s Ice Shanties at Lake Harriet by artists Jayson Randall and the re(center)ed team. From the description: The 42-foot-long serpentine structure creates bays of isolation, where guests can create their own stories of grief and sorrow, which will be destroyed in the release pyre. The flames and drafting smoke release the burden of grief and sorrow of the guests and the community.
