Works
The following poem by Neelanjana Banerjee and video works by Carolina Caycedo, Carmina Escobar with Wesam Nassar, and Kate Lain were selected by Alison Saar for Catfish Dreamin’ because of their relation to the theme of water. Alison Saar’s Catfish Dreamin’ video that accompanies the installation in the front garden of the Armory Center for the Arts is also included. We hope you can enjoy these works at the bodies of water or waterways identified in the Catfish Dreamin’ map or at other water sites of your choosing.
