A model of our home that acknowledges our history
THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. LINKS MAY NOT WORK AND SOME IMAGES MAY NOT LOAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
Since 2021, every season a team of interns work to model historic structures from our neighborhood, in partnership with community members who share stories about these places from across time. From St. Agnes Cathedral and Pilgrim Baptist Church to Little Saigon Market and Ray Bell Films, these models go along with recorded interviews and loads of research materials that tell the story of the neighborhood we call home. As you listen to each interview, we recommend you tour the structures that go with them in our server, 825arts.exaroton.me

Phase 1: The test project
In order to get the project moving, we first had a group of three interns from the Right Track Program work with three community members to explore buildings in Frogtown and Rondo they wanted to learn more about. Dantes Ha, Sarah Snapp, and Sammy Nelson (from Gibbs Farm) helped us work to build models of Gibbs Farm, Little Saigon, and St. Agnes Cathedral. Their interviews are paired here with an image of their accompanying structure. You can tour these structures in our server at the warp

Phase 2: Margaret Lovejoy
For the next phase of the project, four interns from Great River School worked with community member Margaret Lovejoy to construct her childhood home, which was destroyed as part of the construction of highway 94. They created a model which changes from her childhood home to her modern home to what may have been there pre-colonization. You can view images and listen to Margaret's interview below. You can also tour this build, along with the model of University Avenue the interns built, at /warp intern_workspace and /warp margarets_house.
Phase 3: Victor Mister
The most recent phase of the project has seen three Right Track interns work with community member Victor Mister to build models of Tilman's Market and Carty Park. You can tour these builds at the warps /warp carty_park and
