Sonic Journey Four: Ma's House
Description
In our latest Sonic Journey, join us on the lands of the Shinnecock Nation, which have been cared for by the Shinnecock People for over 10,000 years. Here, photographer and artist Jeremy Dennis has restored his family’s home in order to create a place for creativity, care, and community for a new generation of BIPOC artists. This unique space is called Ma’s House, and Jeremy documented the building’s restoration in a short film of the same name.
Lean closer and listen to fond remembrances of Ma from her descendants. Sense the transformation with the sawing and hammering of Jeremy’s construction. And feel your hair rustled by the salty breezes of the Atlantic Ocean.
Jeremy's film is part of Reciprocity Project, a collaboration between Nia Tero and Upstander Project, in association with REI Co-op Studios.
Host: Jessica Ramirez. Producer: Stina Hamlin. Story Editor and Audio Mix: Jenny Asarnow.
