art as engagement tool Community Engagement
Hecho en Philly. Trout River. Tin Can Trust — a creative exchange of messages and personal artifacts between the Puerto Rican diaspora in Allentown, PA and San Juan, PR. Linda's community work invites neighbors into the creative process.
Series Statement
Three long-form projects that put community at the center of the creative process — exchanging messages, artifacts, and visions of solidarity across the diaspora. Hecho en Philly drew attention to the makers, artists, and creatives working in Philadelphia today. The Trout River residency reimagined a fisherman's museum in Newfoundland. Tin Can Trust was a creative exchange of messages of love and solidarity between Allentown, PA and San Juan, PR — packed into tin cans and traveled.
