Project Space Residency

Listen to the Project Space Podcast featuring Meredith Davenport.

Meredith Davenport lives in Lima, New York and teaches at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her current project Membering is a collection of layered narratives using images and words from found documents related to her family story that begins with a slave ship and ends with the death of her father in Louisiana. The work is a form of accounting of a history that is not uncommon but is at times unbearable.
