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

California Humanities

"Since June 2016, Positional Projects has been combining storytelling, interactive interpretive installations and historical walking tours with trash cleanups and graffiti removal. These "Stories and Stewardship" events occur at two equally intriguing locations: Giant Rock (once thought to be the world's largest freestanding boulder) in the High Desert town of Landers and the former site of the Llano del Rio utopian colony in the Antelope Valley."

PBS SoCal Wanderer

"The director of nonprofit Positional Projects, which coordinates with artists to spotlight neglected historic sites through installations and events, is drawn to Giant Rock precisely because it’s the nexus of so many diverse stories.

She began collecting those tales, going so far as to travel to Kansas to interview Critzer’s relatives, and then sharing them while volunteers clean up. She calls these events stories and stewardship sessions.

And the public education efforts appear to be paying off. By the end of the recent cleanup, about 20 volunteers had collected more than 520 pounds of trash and removed more than 800 square feet of graffiti."
