Libre was founded by artists in 1968 on southern Colorado's beautiful and rugged high mountain plains and exists still today as a place apart for artists and countercultural thinkers. One of the longest running intentional communities manifesting out of the surge of communes in the Southwestern United States in the late 60s and 70s, it's known for hand-built domes and "zomes" inspired by Drop City, Buckminster Fuller, and hand-built by the artists that founded it - many of whom live and work there still.

Artists and works included straddle innovation and tradition, the ceramic medium, exploring connections to the body and the earth, utility, ritual, and art as a vessel.

Five contemporary artists from diverse backgrounds work together in collaboration with artist Cannupa Hanska Luger to present a new exhibition that investigates the interconnectedness of the human story. Through social engagement, public art, monumental sculpture, mural installation, photography, performance and wearable sculptural regalia, Lazy Stitch takes the relationship of the bead and the thread as its context, co-creating narrative about life on this planet.
