Community Voices at Bush Terminal Piers Park
interactive map experience
This interactive mapping project resurfaces the history of Bush Terminal’s land use in Sunset Park while highlighting community stories in the present day. Instead of markers signifying businesses or establishments, the markers here highlight people and their connection with Bush Terminal, as well as archival images, advertisements, and newspaper clippings. Each video interview touches upon a different facet of the Bush Terminal story and displays a diverse perspective of the people’s relationship to the waterfront’s history, present, and future.

OUT FROM UNDER: stories of endometriosis
documentary short film
Six individuals. One diagnosis. In Out From Under, people living with endometriosis gather for an art-centered workshop. Through collage and conversation, they transform isolating medical experiences into paths of connection and collective healing.
Directed & Produced by Prisca Edwards
Body Scans
short experimental film
'Body Scans' is a self-portrait of the filmmaker's relationship with her period and living with endometriosis, a chronic illness predominately affecting women. Endometriosis is a common condition that remains poorly understood and difficult to treat, leaving many women feeling simultaneously invaded and neglected by the medical system. Here, the private becomes public and the invisible is opened to scrutiny. The film is a moving collage, juxtaposing medical scans, doctor's notes, and photographs to reveal the spaces left unreconciled between data and bodily experience.
