Vivian Lehrer is a multidisciplinary artist whose work imagines reverent ways of walking with each other and our planet. Integrating natural materials, painting, ephemeral processes, interactive installations, and community-building, Vivian’s art practice playfully points to our vulnerable interconnection within the more-than-human world.
A first-generation American raised by Chilean parents, Vivian served for 12 years as founding co-director of Eden Village Camp, a farm-and-arts sleepaway camp with locations in NY and CA. At Eden Village, Vivian fostered radical inclusivity through earth-based programming – often involving rite-of-passage challenges, art with biomaterials, song sessions, and parades with giant puppets. Previously, Vivian served Spanish-speaking clients as a public-interest lawyer in NYC. She lives and works on Lenni-Lenape land (Philadelphia), where she plays bass in the indie-folk band Gorgeous Porch, and regularly hosts house concerts and other events.
