Jamaica Flux: Workspaces & Windows, a project of Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (JCAL), and chashama Studios present Housing is a Human Right: IT'S YOUR STORY THAT COUNTS. The interactive exhibit in a previously vacant storefront presents provocative photographs, first person audio stories and Remixed Testimony from New Yorkers struggling for a place to call home. Visitors are invited to come experience stories, map their home, schedule a time to share their own story or attend a foreclosure workshop. Housing is a Human Right has set up a 24-hour voice mail service that can be reached toll free at (888) 955-6653 to leave a message with questions, comments, or to find out how to tell your story.
Conceived by artists Rachel Falcone and Michael Premo, Housing is a Human Right (HHR) is an ongoing documentary portrait of the struggle for Home. HHR is composed of oral narratives and photographs, along with testimonies and memories of Home, woven and remixed with the help of turntablist DJ Oja Vincent of progressive live arts collective Earthdriver.org. This collection of viscerally honest first-person narratives aims to illuminate the complex fabric of community and the human right to Home.
Jamaica Flux'10: Workspaces & Windows, a project of Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning (JCAL), is a site-specific, public art exhibition that is mounted approximately every three years with the intention of using the urban environment as a studio and exhibition space.
