Excavation
Excavation, sound route
The work examines the physical and historic site of Franklin Pierce University. Drawing from local lore as a designated point of refuge for slaves traveling the underground railroad, the soundscape viscerally merges past with present. Correlating concepts of Plato's 'cave,' where the enslaved individual must venture out from the shadows to find true knowledge, and that of an alchemical process of critical pedagogy is explored.
