Hamiltonian Gallery, May 18-June 22, 2019
An immersive four-channel video and sound installation about borders, restriction of movement, and family/community life. Its subject is Derby Line, Vermont and Stanstead, Quebec, two rural towns that are divided by the US/Canadian border. This small community has recently become better known, because immigrants affected by the US travel ban are reuniting with family members at its library. The library, uniquely situated in both the US and Canada, is one of the few places on the continent where those living in the US with visas that do not allow return-entry, can reunite with family members who are not allowed to enter the US, because they are citizens of countries on the US travel ban list. n e i g h b o r i n g | t o w n s is by Heather Theresa Clark and Pauline Jennings with sound composition by Sean Clute, cinematography by Elizabeth Rossano, and choreography created and performed by Pauline Jennings in collaboration with Joshua Lacourse.
