Tell Me Your Story
“Tell Me Your Story” was an interactive piece included in LA Road Concerts on April 26, 2026 in front of the old Sparkletts water factory on York Blvd in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, an area which is rapidly changing.
Community members were invited to sit on either end of a bench shaped like a telephone receiver and recount stories of their experiences in Highland Park as well as to call in their stories a voicemail. Tin can telephones of various shapes and sizes were also available to play with.
At one point a traveling line dance teacher with portable tunes, Jessica Hemingway, came and taught us a line dance. (See photo)
