the nesting project
a group installation
Jivamukti Cafe at the Jivamukti Yoga School
841 Broadway, 2nd floor
December 2009, deadline extended January 15 2010
Inspired by the teachings of David Life and Sharon Gannon, we come together as a community to enrich the creative culture by yoking it with the force of spiritual activism to make a difference in the lives of others.
Artists explore this concept by creating nests similar to the way birds gather objects to build a home. The nests will be on silent auction until January 14, 2010 to raise funds to build actual homes for those animals and humans displaced.
All proceeds will go to HABITAT FOR HUMANITY in Sri Lanka, to aid families without homes still from the Tsunami in 2004, and those living in relief camps in the wake of the Sri Lankan civil war and the NY Audubon, a grassroots community interested in the preservation of wild birds and their habitats in the five boroughs of Manhattan.

Blue Bird Nest, Elsa Mehary
Sesame Street. This nest has a hidden gold interior which like most nests seek to disguise their precious contents. The outside is bright and playful but soft and cozily inviting.
Elsa Mehary is a student of yoga and life. She exists in this incarnation as a shaman, photographer, artist, traveler and lover. She was born in the mountains of old world ethiopia and raised in the urban landscapes of America. With this duality comes the sensitivity to all those who have left a homeland and discovered, adopted or forced to identify a new one. We are always searching for ways back home.
