Curious Lightning

Head, Hand and Heart: A Geo-Locative Sound Walk is a playful, time-traveling audio walk that invites us to rediscover our true nature and a fresh re-membering as we re-connect Head, Hand and Heart.  With the help of a hybrid robot named AWMI-M3-4170, local soundscapes, and insights from Oika founder Dr. Rich Blundell and Wampanoag artist Robert Peters, the experience reimagines the stories of Nantucket’s Native voices and enchantments. The walk begins at Maria’s birthplace (1 Vestal St.) and moves through town, to the Wampanoag Stomp Grounds, ocean, and culminates at the Maria Mitchell Gallery at 33 Washington St. Nantucket. Curious Lightning 2023 is Cinema Wood and Dakota Clearwater La Croix
