293, Artist Richard Skelton on "Imperial Valley" albums, looking at era of US internal migration
Update: 2025-11-24
Description
On this edition of Free City Radio we hear from musician Richard Skelton who shares reflections on both the creative process surrounding a four part soundscape and music project called Imperial Valley. The project is connected to a set of photos taken in California during the Great Depression, one of the largest periods of internal economic migration in the United States. This is a meaningful and important reference point because it points to the historical conditions of migration that informed the family history of many Americans at a time when the Trump administration is pushing to criminalize migration as a process and specifically migrant peoples.
