C Fausto Cabrera…
From prison walls to museum halls, C Fausto’s 1st 10 canvases post incarceration made the Seen exhibit at the Weisman Art Museum in 2025.
Following up the Haymarket Writing Freedom Fellowship within months of his release, through WAAC.org Cabrera will showcase his very first post-incarceration series, Inherited Scars.
Partnering with EQ Learn founder and Godmother Charlene Myklebust, Cabrera delivers the keynote at MACMH in 2025.
In order to move forward, we must look back with intention. Cabrera is dedicated to paying forward on an insurmountable debt:
Director of Transformative Justice at Damascus Way
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.
