Plymouth Housing builds and manages supportive housing for individuals experiencing long term homelessness. The work features a wind-powered sculpture comprised of a flock of cranes ascending upwards and returning home to their nest in a continual cycle. It was created using 500lbs of stainless steel and aluminum. The sculpture features origami red-crowned cranes to commemorate the local Japanese business that once operated at this site. The nest below glows at night and doubles as seating for pedestrians. Cranes are international travelers, with migration routes defying national borders. Because of this, they are emblematic of resiliency and unity among diverse peoples. They are icons of survival, traversing epic proportions in both distance and altitude and outliving mass habitat destruction. We believe they represent the search for home and belonging, and the extraordinary resilience of one's spirit to rise above adversity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54742242e4b039279a76e640/1630373862769-L61MRLODSVZB630HTK9J/A+Drop+Landing+Morning+Time.jpg Public Art - A Drop Landing The first installation in the Re:Generation series, showing precipitation as a metaphor for the human relationships within the building.

The artwork was adapted from a depiction of the landmass and estuaries when the ice sheet retreated 10,000 years ago. Each waterway is embedded with cultural patterns showing waves of human settlement in the area, hailing from the Caribbean, West Africa, East and South Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, Western and Eastern Europe. The design cut into the central river comes from an ancient ceramics pattern provided by the Massachusett Tribal Council to honor the first peoples of this land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54742242e4b039279a76e640/1690667121466-CJ95LMWQ9AGN6Z5F4NER/PXL_20220615_001820474.MP.jpg Public Art Layers of Time Concrete, inlaid brass, resin, granite 30’ x 55’ x 4’ 2022 This splash pad is an artistic interpretation of the geologic events that shaped Salem Harbor and the North Shore of Massachusetts. The three layers of the splash pad represent different periods of time that occurred over millions of years. Inspired by this deep time perspective dating back to Pangea, “Layers of Time” gives insight into our interconnected history. The local Avalonian bedrock was once a piece of North Africa that collided with North America around 500 million years ago. As Avalon rifted, the volcanic activity that followed produced the rocks we see in Forest River Park today. The lowest level of the splash pad represents these rocks, called Salem gabbro-diorite. The second level shows Avalon rifting and separating, as gabbro-diorite emerges below through magmatic activity. The top level of the splash pad represents the glacial stage, occurring from 2.5million to 10,000 years ago. The artists hope to draw a connection to our current climate, bringing awareness to rapid glacial melt and rising sea levels. The splash pad uses geology to encourage a non-anthropocentric view of our planet, while guiding us to recognize our shared common ground. Follow the rivers of brass magma, fossilized plants and creatures to discover your own journey across time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54742242e4b039279a76e640/1715633960567-56IHG6HWIMHBWNLW626Q/Giving+Hands+Community+Journeys+Final++copy+Small.jpg Public Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54742242e4b039279a76e640/1715635905130-FPWN0F013S854RZZOOFZ/PXL_20220828_005334428_2.jpg Public Art https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54742242e4b039279a76e640/1630374476539-FML78NSWB4HEX57P6SR4/Gathering+Radiance.jpg Public Art - Gathering Radiance The third installation in the Re:Generation series, showing evaporation and condensation in the water cycle.

Jyun Jyun and missTANGQ perform live global electronic music together with stunning projected animation, shadow dancing and puppetry using spectacular masks and costumes. An expedition of multi-sensory time travel, the show transforms ancestral traditions into ritual futurisms - as audiences participate in the co-creation of narratives that expand cultural identity and global community. ANiMA adapts ancient myth into contemporary performance aimed at healing our urban disconnection, through a deep reverence for nature and mystery. Using cutting-edge technology, interactive visuals respond directly to the performer’s bodies, creating a union of digital and organic movement. The stage itself is an altar, where audience members are invited to offer handmade crafts to pay homage to their stories and participate in a culminating dance party. A testament of transnational migration and cultural interchange, the show urges viewers to consider the meaning of home and place in the borderlands of human experience. In the current climate of anti-immigration and divisive socio-political forces, ANiMA reminds us that ancestral wisdom and earth-based practices can be a compass, a guiding mythos to help navigate our humanity and harness the power of ritual and communion. http://www.louischinn.com/signup daily 0.75 2019-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54742242e4b039279a76e640/1539303044957-Z5T7AO3ZGAUF2RLAM8I5/Apature+%281%29.jpg Events
