In 2020, "Light a Candle for Democracy" was both an in-person installation and a virtual art experience by mixed media artist Sarah Bush in Taos, NM.
In 2024 it will be much simpler. After getting many requests to do this candle lighting ceremony again, Sarah has decided to do a simple zoom call meditation on the eve of the election where she will lead us in a collective candle lighting. We will light those candles to everything we hold dear about the democratic process, civility, and respect for all.
This experience is about moving from reacting with fear and anger to the undemocratic, openly fascist messages coming from the Republican candidates to connecting with each other energetically through honoring our highest values and standing in our power. Lighting these candles together on the eve of a pivotal moment in history is one way we can step out of isolation, uplift each other, and face one of the most divisive elections in our history from a position of grace and strength.
