Dream Motif Excerpt

This is a piece I produced at the Salt Institute with editorial guidance from Donald Soctomah, historian of the Passamaquoddy Tribe. It features archival audio that belongs to the Passamaquoddy Tribe and Harvard’s Peabody Museum. You can learn about the Passamaquoddy Wax Cylinder by going to Passamaquoddypeople.org.

Speaking to the Past

This is a vox pop that I made shortly after moving to Portland, Maine in January of 2019. I was cold all the time, and I wanted to know:  how do Mainers deal with the frigid temperatures and subzero wind-chill. The question led to a number of conversations, some practical and whimsical –– and others, deeply personal and indicative of larger issues of housing insecurity in Maine.
