Who

A Vital, artist-led but all-inclusive project promoting awareness and change in the Opioid Crisis that has devastated countless lives and families around the world. Giving the Victims and Survivors of this tragedy a community and a unified voice, The Opioid Spoon Project seeks Justice and True Accountability for the architects of this Global Epidemic.

How

By placing The Opioid Spoon sculpture, created by artist/activist Domenic Esposito, on the doorsteps of corporations and individuals whose recklessness and irresponsibility have fueled the epidemic, publicly explaining their complicity and holding them accountable for their actions. We will further raise our voice through this website, on mainstream and social media outlets to publicly identify the profiteers whose deceitfulness and misrepresentations have caused so much heartache and suffering.

What

We will strive to inform and educate the public of the vast network of all involved and their roles, ensuring that society is aware of the monetary priority over the well being of humanity.

We will serve as the voice of truth, solutions and as a platform for constructive social change and legal accountability for the opioid epidemic and the deadly and destructive effects it has on people from all walks of life.

The Artist’s Story

Domenic Esposito is a Massachusetts-based artist and social activist.

In 2018, he achieved national attention through the massive opioid spoon sculptures, a symbolic eight-hundred-pound, ten-foot metal replication of a simple household utensil modified to cook and inject opioids. Domenic placed them on the doorsteps of major pharmaceutical giants, making a statement on behalf of all those deeply affected by this national epidemic. He founded the Opioid Spoon Project, a 501(c)(3) to serve as a solution-based platform that seeks legal justice and brings voice to the destructive effects of opioid addiction on people from all walks of life.

He is a voice for those that don’t have a voice. Too caught up in a struggle to survive…or barely surviving. His work reflects the forces that haunt our society, community, families, and loved ones.

Domenic’s work has been exhibited in various galleries and art fairs across the U.S., including Beacon Gallery, Boston; Piano Craft Gallery, Boston; Scope, NYC; Art Palm Beach; and SOFA Chicago Art Fair.

The Impact

  • “I met Domenic at the rally in Stamford CT in August 2018. We rallied for justice and accountability from Purdue Pharma. I saw that day the passion he has for the Opioid Crisis that is affecting families and entire generation. I lost my daughter Isabella, so for me, I want people in my corner who understand, Domenic understands”
