Imagining a time when it was safe for us to come together again, Ferrandi wanted to outline a ritual for reconnecting with each other that acknowledged what we've lost during the pandemic and (hopefully) what we've gained. Originally drawn for Desert Island Comics' Rescue Party Project on Instagram. This is a digital (Giclee) print on archival paper, signed and numbered.

George Ferrandi is an American artist primarily known for her performance, installation and participatory projects that address issues of vulnerability, impermanence, fallibility and spectacle, often through experimental approaches to narrative.

Her work has been presented at venerable institutions around the US and the world, at the International House of Japan in Tokyo, Abrons Arts Center in New York, the Kitchen in New York, Cinders Gallery in Brooklyn, Sleuce Art Fair in London, the McKinney Contemporary in Dallas, the Wexner Center in Columbus, the Harn Museum in Gainesville, Florida, and Fleisher Art Memorial in Philadelphia. She has been awarded grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the MAP fund, Kindle Projects, Franklin Furnace Fundwinners for Performance Art, the Mid Atlantic Arts Council, and Pratt Institute.

Her current projects involve working with communities around the world to invent rituals for the next millennium, and publishing a subscription-based newspaper of her drawings and writings every month during 2021.
