Скачать или смотреть Isa's Disappearance Theory of History

While shopping for vintage shoes, Isa had a brain blast that connected 12,000 years of history in Massachusetts, starting from a sacred ceremonial hill used during the Pocumtuck Confederacy, to Thomas Cole's paintings in the 1830s, to an art show in a swamp in 2021. Follow along the wild ride of Isa's mind and walk away with a renewed sense of the spirit and a peak into the glorious mysteries of the past-- which we can only learn by going forward :-)

"Isa's Disappearance Theory of History" was given on October 9, 2021 in Northampton, MA by Isadora Reisner, as part of The Swamp Show, curated by Charlotte Kohlmann. A transcript of the talk will be published in the Swamp Show Catalog, out with Mundus Press in 2022. Video by Larry Termite.

Note about the epilogue: Thanks to this discovery, and a documentary about the controversy made by a local production team, the Turners Falls Airport site is now protected as part of the National Register of Historic Places. These sites were almost all thought to be stone walls made by white settlers in the past few hundred years, but now their astrological alignments and tribal significance have been uncovered in a revolution of local community archeology. Watch the documentary Hidden Landscapes to learn the whole story and hear from Doug himself! https://vimeo.com/540875784
