LOCAL HISTORY LESSON
2021
‘Local History Lesson’ compile audio clips from press and media events to create daydreams, or more aptly fever dreams, focused on the contemporary history of development in neighborhoods surrounding Flushing Bay and Creek. The videos recall informal summaries of local land use and development plans as told by guests at a Claire Shulman memorial coordinated by the Queens Borough President's Office, and speakers at numerous Governor Cuomo press conferences hosted at Laguardia Airport. These compilations seek to reveal underlying hypocrisies in urban planning and environmental management.
