Exhibit Title: Don't Stand Still: the Wampanoags
Location: MA, United States
In this ongoing project, Don't Stand Still tells the story of the profound culture and history of the Wampanoag Tribe in southeastern Massachusetts. As they desperately try to hold onto their deeply rooted culture, fight for land, and maintain sustainability, I connect and begin to reveal the strength and struggles of their present-day lives.
