Ben and Mary Pearl are working on American Dreams: Trash and Dirt, investigating the American landscape, its people, and our food systems. Our collaboration uses sculpture and performance to explore the core of the American Dream: the right to land and home and how we identify with the land that feeds us. The greenhouse (or living or working spaces ) are made of found, salvaged and re-purposed materials, which means they are free. They are gifts for farms, community spaces, and artist collectives. The documentary play will be weaved from interviews collected on our trip.

American Dreams: Trash and Dirt will travel to Asheville, NC, Savannah, Ga, New Orleans, LA, Austin, TX, Santa Fe, NM, Big Sur, CA, San Francisco, CA, Portland, OR, Seattle, WA, Missoula MT, Boulder, CO and Philidelphia, PA and Greensboro, NC.

We need a little love to help cover the cost of a few materials, transportation, and promotion of the project. A small donation will go a long way!

Thank you for your support!
