About the 8 Project
What is The 8 Project
The 8 Project is a creative sanctuary and residency for survivors of mass trauma. It serves as both a bridge and a community-building platform, offering a healing program that unites art, therapy, and human connection. Within the studio, survivors reclaim their voices, process their experiences, and transform pain into powerful works of art. Through collaboration with institutions, communities, and one another, they embark on a journey of rehabilitation and resilience, transforming personal stories of survival into a collective experience of healing and hope.
About the 8 Project
A Bridge and Community Platform
Through the residency program, The 8 Project builds bridges with diverse communities by partnering with schools, colleges, hospitals, cultural institutions, and organizations such as the Los Angeles County Fire Department. These collaborations give residents the space to create meaningful art, share their stories, and transform creativity into a platform for empathy, healing, and connection.
