The Long Memory Project is our pop-up artist residency program. Its mission is to cultivate the passing down of our community’s stories. Not just the ones considered worthy enough to make headlines and history books, but the small acts of courage, action, good governance, and community building. These stories help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what we envision for our future—both regionally and beyond.

The third edition of The Long Memory Project is in collaboration with MSU's Broad Art Museum. Elders with ties to the state's farming history shared their stories with participating artists: ceramist Debbie Carlos, painter Lilian Martinez, poet Alex Rivera-Sastre, and mixed-media artist Mike (Michaela) Nichelle.

This event is free, but pre-registration is required.
