HOMECOMING PROJECT
DOIN’ IT FOR THE N.O.
Junebug Productions' Homecoming Project is a community-based, storytelling performance series.
Homecoming Project fuses high-quality artistic practice with a commitment to maintaining the essential relationship between culture and progressive social change through engagement with New Orleans communities that have been historically oppressed and exploited.
Homecoming Project is for those who have been forced out of the place their ancestors have called home for generations, for those who must witness their historical cultural practices become monetized while they reap no profit, for those who have lost their gathering spaces to new policies that deem them criminal, for those that fight to remind disaster profiteers that our culture and our city cannot be bought.
HOMECOMING PROJECT: WATER
“As mother of the planet’s living things, holding memory and mystery, healing flesh and rock, carving veins in mountainsides — water is the great collector down to the molecular level.”
- free feral
Homecoming Project: Water is a collection of stories — told in the form of dance, music, spoken word, and film — exploring the depths of our vastly different and complex relationships with water.
