Swannanoan silt ()

Swannanoan Silt is a two-channel live projection performance examining how communities in WNC cope and rebuild in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The projected 16mm motion pictures and slide photography engage directly with the hurricane’s invisible ecological impact, as the film was processed in the contaminated Swannanoa and French Broad Rivers. This work strives to highlight the perseverance, radical empathy, and dedication to one another in our mountain communities despite such adversity.
