In Flux: Call for Participants – Imaginary Homelands with Kirsten Leenaars


6018North seeks participants to be in an interactive documentary project with artist Kirsten Leenaars.

Participants will be part of a recorded Zoom.us event wherein Leenaars asks individuals:
“Can you describe your own face from memory?” This will be the first question in a longer shared conversation about community, belonging and family histories.

Sign up to participate here: 6018north.org/imaginary-homelands.

Imaginary Homelands is a new documentary project by artist Kirsten Leenaars structured as a series of video portraits across the US and traces stories of belonging and loneliness. What does it mean to be a citizen? What does community mean to you? Notions of identity, belonging and familial histories are uncovered through this project. Each individual interview will start with the question: can you describe your face from memory?

These video portraits will be shared with each participant and posted online as part of the Imaginary Homelands project.
