What do you keep? What do you share?
What is documented? What is archived?
What do we fear we are going to forget?
Leavings was a communal activity developed in collaboration with Holly Ewald for the Rhode Island Humanities anniversary event 50Fest in October 2023. The intention of this work was to create a space to reflect on our memories of the natural world, provide a container to share those memories with others, and offer an opportunity to document the process.
