Art as Political Commentary is Powerful.
My why behind this project is simple.
What is happening at our borders is deeply unconscionable. As a human, artist, attorney and proud daughter of an immigrant, I want to make a difference and support humanitarian aid efforts in my own humble way. Y quiero hacerlo contigo. And I want to do it with you.
I want to come together as artists and humans and put forth hope, love and compassion into the world and illuminate human abuses and the crisis taking place at our border.
If you’re an artist, I hope you’ll join me.
If you care about human rights, equity and decency, I hope you’ll join me.
Together, we can create a mighty clang that reverberates off the black walls that separate us.
Together, through art, we stir the awakening of conscious.

Kehoe curated THIRST 2021: Artists for Humanitarian Aid, a virtual event and shop that gathered more than 80 artists to create art to raise awareness and funds for Tucson-based humanitarian-aid nonprofits….
