#storiesandstewardship

an ongoing placekeeping series

In partnership with Blightsites.org, the #storiesandstewardship program combines community cleanup with collective memory at noted sites in the Mojave to promote historic preservation.

ON ALL Day

"a community history and place-making multimedia project in the Mojave Desert” 

Annual May Day tours, talks, art and experiences are offered in place around the century old Llano del Rio Coopertive Colony ruins in Llano, CA exploring history and site-responses by artists on site and online in map-based exhibits.

ARCHIVES

from private and institutional collections

We travel the country connecting research to our sites of inquiry. Explore our online chronicles of art and history or head outside for experiences in place using a smart device.

Blightsites.org

a crowdsourced smartphone tool to report waste and recover materials for creative reuse

 Participate in citizen science by using your smartphone to help repair Blightsites by documenting TRASHED locations along dirt roads and public spaces. The reports populate a public map to monitor illegal dumping and identify sites for cleanup or recovery.
