Oral History Walks (2019-present)
Since 2019, Here goes the neighborhood... has cultivated a practice of oral history walks. Participants lead me on self-determined walks through their neighborhoods and share stories and memories based on place. They are invited to consider sites of meaning, memory, ritual, offering or change as
part of their sharings. Audio is recorded during the walk and site-specific movement responses are filmed to create short films and a digital archive.
Oral history walk participants:
Bronx | Arthur Avilés, Rodrick Bell, Malcom-x Betts, Joan Bradford, Alexander Diaz, NIC Kay, Ana "Rokafella" Garcia
Brooklyn | Brittany Grier, Alba Delia Hernández, Maxine Montilus, Ricarrdo Valentine
Queens | Karesia Batan, Alberto Denis, Urvashie Kissoon, Aurora Reyes
Staten Island | Nubia Braithwaite, Idea Reid, Rosita Roldan, Melissa West
Albuquerque, NM | Raven Bright, Gabriel Carrion-Gonzales, Sarah Hogland-Gurulé, Natalia Hernandez, Paul Cuffee
Knoxville | Maddei Collins
