In Search of the Frightening and Beautiful

the brio memory project

Extraction, Erasure, and the Power of Remembering

The Brio Memory Project is about cultural amnesia and community trauma caused by industrial pollution affecting local environments, neighborhoods and workplaces.

Using as a departure point the Brio Superfund waste dump in Friendswood, Texas, the project re-presents personal stories through the dissemination of drawings, video and performance, calling attention to layers of history whose lessons are in danger of being forgotten.
