Touchable Stories are interactive environments and soundscapes based on the lives and viewpoints of the communities it serves. This year, we focus on a follow-up to the successful Richmond I installation and embark on two important community activities, which have us spanning both coasts.

Richmond: The Story Continues, the highly anticipated follow-up to Richmond: An Introduction I, builds on previous community dialogues and creates new ones. Conceived as a response to the community’s opinions on the first project, Richmond: The Story Continues addresses more of the question “who is Richmond?” Featured in this visual and aural discussion is Richmond’s rich Native American presence, its multi-use shoreline, and its place in the history of the Blues.

Richmond: The Story Continues will also build on the discoveries of Richmond Introduction, regarding Latino history, toxic legacies, and the Tent City Peace Movement, the grassroots non-violence phenomenon born two years ago on the killing grounds of inner Richmond.

Richmond: The Story Continues opened on November 9th for a special run on Fridays and Saturdays until December 15th 2007. The show was seen by groups of no more than eighteen in a single showing, one each night.

Special showings are available to individuals and groups, by prearrangement, on Wednesday nights and Sundays. Please call the number above, to discuss your needs.
