Homegrown Stories: The Art of Moving Poetry
Q&A Following with Pieta Brown & Sandra Dyas
RT 68 minutes
Homegrown Stories is an online collaborative media project featuring the work of nationally and internationally recognized film, video and sound artists. Established in 2013, by LeAnn Erickson and Sandra Louse Dyas, Homegrown Stories has resulted in the creation of over 160 short experimental videos.
Much of the work created as part of Homegrown Stories takes the form of moving poetry. The aesthetics of Homegrown Stories embrace a ‘prompt’ approach commonly used in writing exercises. Influenced by the I Ching, chance elements are also explored in the creation of collaborative video projects. Whether inspired by actual poems (HGS 2021, The Year of the Poet), or embracing the prompt approach, the resulting video work reflects the aesthetic relationship between process and chance.
Over its 13 years of existence, Homegrown Stories videos have been featured in film festivals, gallery exhibitions and in written reviews.
This retrospective screening of Homegrown Stories is a 68 minute program featuring over 30 different experimental films created by 20 different film, video and sound artists. The program is currently on a national tour, screening at venues in Philadelphia, Richmond, San Francisco and other US locations.
