About Clare Hedin
Headshot of Clare Hedin
Clare Hedin

Clare Hedin is a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, sound artist, and healer. She explores connection through sound; to wholeness, to our essence, to each other, to Earth, and to our fractured selves. Born and raised in the U.K., she was classically trained in piano and voice and drew from the elemental influences of her youth: the vast intimacy of Epping Forest, and the stormy, stony beaches of Suffolk. She enjoyed a musical relationship with Oakland Children's Hospital, and co-founded a sound healing program in San Francisco. She travels and creates music to honor the aliveness, and ancestry, of each place.

About the Exhibition

Cara Levine: To Survive I Need You to Survive

Cara Levine: To Survive I Need You to Survive explores loss, empathy, and equity through sculpture, video, and socially engaged practices. Grappling with some of the most pressing issues of our time, including police brutality, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic, the California-based artist uses her artistic practice as a means to explore and process grief around personal and collective traumas. The resulting works highlight how creative endeavors can facilitate healing and help mourners find meaning in community with one another. Drawing on Jewish traditions, community practice, and interconnectedness, the exhibition invites visitors to explore installations and sculptural works that plumb the depths of the intimate and universal experiences of grief and regeneration.
