Head, Hand and Heart: A Geo-Locative Sound Walk is a playful, time-traveling audio walk that invites us to rediscover our true nature and a fresh re-membering as we re-connect Head, Hand and Heart. With the help of a hybrid robot named AWMI-M3-4170, local soundscapes, and insights from Oika founder Dr. Rich Blundell and Wampanoag artist Robert Peters, the experience reimagines the stories of Nantucket’s Native voices and enchantments.
Curious Lightning has re-imagined history, questioned the current island culture, and reshuffled time and narrative. We weave present-moment sonic storytelling with current topics like climate anxiety, consumerism, and indigenous land rights, and we encourage the audience to directly witness and engage with these themes.
Our Narrator AWMI-The playful Wayfinder invites the listeners to join (her/them) on a journey home through the head and the hand to the heart, too full humanness- as the heart character Tashima, wampanoag for The One Who Rises Up.
