SUMMARY:We Are the Promised Land
DESCRIPTION:We Are the Promised Land is an altar to Black land legacies in the Mississippi Hill Country that centers the Hollowells and Foxfire Ranch in Waterford\, Mississippi. With all the Black land loss stories in Mississippi\, “We Are the Promised Land\,” explores how the Hollowell family has kept their land for over a century\, and the sacrifices\, risks and cultural mechanisms that made it possible. Through a podcast\, poetry\, photography and video we offer kaleidoscopic views of the region to engage a conversation about inheritance – What echoes of our ancestors suggest that we are their afterlife? How do we create the afterlife they deserve? \nOur online “virtual altar” will serve as a repository for the podcast\, poetry and other written pieces\, artwork\, video and photography. The podcast and poetry are centered in and derived from oral history and interviews. The physical altar will be filmed and photographed and the photos and video of the altar will serve as an interface through which the other media is presented. \n7/1- 11/1 virtual altar creation\n8/1/24 – 8/31/24 In-person Podcast Screening/Listening Party in Mississippi at Foxfire Ranch
