Let it Ripple is a 501(c)(3) a social profit founded by Tiffany Shlain and Sawyer Steele in 2013 to create films, art, events and discussion materials that inspire important conversations about society. Renowned for global art activations, award-winning films, and engaging live and virtual experiences, Let It Ripple's films have been viewed more than 50 million times, have earned 60+ awards, and are showcased in theaters, on television, and nearly all streaming platforms. They’ve premiered at MoMA, Sundance, and TED and have been featured by the U.S. State Department at embassies worldwide.

​

Our live events include art activations with Dendrofemonology: A Feminist History Tree Ring, a movable monument by Tiffany Shlain installed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.(2023); Madison Square Park in NYC (2024); the 21c Museum Hotel in St. Louis (2025), the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art in San Francisco (2026); and the birthplace of the women's rights movement in Seneca Falls, New York (2026). It is now headed to Texas later this year. This moveable-monument tour is supported by Women Connect4Good and Dr. Piraye Beim. See highlights here. Other global events we have created include 50/50 Day on gender equity and Character Day, which explores the science of character. 

 

A live "spoken cinema" experience debuted at MoMA in 2020 exploring humanity and technology, Dear Human. It will have a new iteration recast around Dendrofemonology as a "Tree Cinema Experience" that will premiere in the spring of 2027 at the Further Triennial at the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art with the Long Now Foundation as a partner.

​

Let it Ripple is also currently working on two projects The Neuroscientific Brilliance of the BMitzvah, funded by the Covenant Foundation, and 24/6 Boxes, funded by Lippman Kanfer.
