Art Against Opioids: Domenic Esposito's Bold Statement

It's had, you know, not just an impact on the locations that you're bringing it to, but I mean everybody's seeing it and feeling it, and it's...people reaching people outside of the community.
How can a giant spoon spark a nationwide conversation about the opioid crisis? In this episode of 'Collateral Damage', hosts Maureen Cavanagh and Michael Wilson sit down with artist Domenic Esposito to discuss his provocative Opioid Spoon Project. Inspired by his own family's battle with opioid addiction, Esposito's massive sculptures have become a powerful symbol, challenging communities and the media to confront this pressing issue head-on.
The conversation touches on the Sackler family's controversial role in the crisis, the moral obligations of those in power, and the crucial need for empathy and education in combating addiction. By blending art with activism, Esposito aims to ignite tough conversations and inspire change. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that highlights the intersection of creativity and social justice.
