Place-Based Projects
These place based projects combine journalism, oral history and archival research to create comics, radio documentaries and multi-language interviews
The Willapa Oyster and its Environs
This project, a museum show and a comic book, examines the past, present, and future of the oyster, its home in the Willapa Bay, and how the oyster has shaped local communities and economies. You can order a copy of the zine here.
A Post-Carrot Cuyama/Cuyama Después de la Zanahoria
A Post-Carrot Cuyama / Cuyama Después de la Zanahoria is an idea and a question. What could food production in Cuyama look like in 50 years? Funded by Blue Sky’s first grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, as a 2024 Cuyama Action Fellow I interviewed local students and local food producers on their dreams, solutions, and ideas. From the interviews and illustrations, this is a printed zine version in both English and Spanish, which was mailed to every resident of New Cuyama.
Walking Constellations
A comic and radio program documenting Prairie Sea Projects’ community walk and talks. Taking place at Fox Ranch, Nature Conservancy's prairie preserve, local Yuma County residents talk about past, present and future connections to the North East Colorado high plains landscape.
