Shredded Symbols Project

The Shredded Symbols Project is a somatic paper making process that confronts specific incidents of trauma linked to paperwork. Developed by C Fausto Cabrera, artist across genre bring their stories to a healing space with the intention to reclaim the narrative. So much of what we carry can be shifted.

Trauma-inducing paperwork (prison, divorce, immigration, medical bills, etc.) is shredded, pulped, soaked in a sweetgrass elixir, then transformed into handmade paper as a way to honor the past by creating a new slate.
