Four Bridges
Howard Hersh’s "Four Bridges" is a sound installation at Montalvo Arts Center, designed to be experienced via mobile devices while walking a 26-minute woodland trail through redwood canyons, hardwood forests, and meadows. The narrative combines children's choir, instrumental music, poetry, and archival recordings to explore the forest as a metaphor for shared humanity, featuring voices of political and religious injustice victims linked to Angel Island, Japanese-American internment, and the Holocaust.
Walgett Freedom Rides
Walgett was a pivotal site in Australia’s Freedom Ride, where students confronted racial discrimination against Aboriginal people, notably the exclusion of Aboriginal veterans from the local RSL. Two key incidents there brought national attention to the issue of racial discrimination for the first time, marking a significant moment in Australian civil rights history.

On the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, I made a walking circumnavigation of the Birkenau camp. There is no road that encircles the camp, the journey involved making my way piecemeal around the vicinity of the camp. I made this walk to mark the event to which no members of the public had access. Birkenau was closed off with a large police and army presence, politicians and celebrities were ferried in to a huge tent that had been built over the iconic gatehouse.
The walk was originally transmitted live in parts via Facebook. This is a compiled video of those parts.
