The plot: Land, legacy, and the struggle to belong

This is a celebration of devotion, observation and reclamation.

Two Bostonians who care deeply about this city; born and raised by the African diaspora and Latino communities of Roxbury and Mission Hill - our perspectives of this city were shaped through poverty, racial discrimination, access and opportunity. We see, feel and understand how the city is changing around us.

Public servants who have given our art to our community; academia has afforded us a foot into doorways we never imagined for ourselves - from teaching to art administration for non-profit institutions, we focus on creating opportunities for artists and the youth.

The plot: Land, legacy, and the struggle to belong honors home, community, and the people who truly sustain it.

Our work pays homage to the locals.
