Supported by in kind donations from the University Religious Center, CARTharsis was a chest of drawers-cum-shrine that wandered the University of Southern California’s Main Campus. Inspired by El Santuario de Chimayó, CARTharsis aimed to act as a whimsical closure mechanism by collecting offerings of emotional baggage and spurring public discourse on different forms of emotional release. Per participant requests, the project ended with a ceremonial destruction and burning of the shrine, and a funeral for the offerings beneath a garden.
