Change. The word resonates with possibilities. This year Earth Press Project: Witness is inviting people across America to answer the question: “What change would you like to witness on this Earth?”
This fall a new public art project will be constructed on the grounds of Minute Man National Historical Park. Earth Press Project: Witness is a collaboration between The Umbrella Community Arts Center, Minute Man National Historical Park (MMNHP), Artist-in-Residence at MMNHP Nancy Winship Milliken, Reflex Letterpress, TERRA Collaborative, and Building Heritage.
The object of Witness is to learn from people across America, in one word, what change they would most like to see. Selected responses will be imprinted onto adobe blocks of earth using a hand-press technique developed in collaboration with Reflex Letterpress. The blocks will then be installed inside a “witness house” structure in Minute Man National Historical Park, outside the Visitor Center. The structure will be on view September 1 - November 1, 2019.
Visitors can explore the physical installation at the park, meet the artists and collaborators, participate in hands-on activities, and engage in conversation around the themes explored in the work. To see and interact with the sculpture, stop by the Visitor’s Center at Minute Man National Historical Park at 250 N. Great Road, Lincoln, MA.
