Description

“Homesick” is a project by artists Leslie Rosenberg, Liz Trader Williams, and Ethan Schultz. It is composed of 12 large, floating house structures. The houses are tightly composed and staggered in height reaching upward to 15 feet. On Saturday evenings throughout the month of November, these large, whimsical houses will light up with dynamic video projections playing in unison with audio samples, including testimonials of Asheville residents speaking on behalf of their housing experiences. Chalkboards welcome the community to engage in dialogue on how Asheville serves as home: “what defines home?”, and “what memories does home conjure?” Special thanks to all of those who shared their stories for this project. Collaborators include BeLoved Asheville, 12 Baskets, photographer Ponkho Bermejo, and Haywood Street Church.
