Cloud(s) Installation – The Nomadic House Project

Cloud(s) is the new version of The Nomadic House Project dedicated to immigrants at the US/Mexico border; it’s made out of water jugs, like the ones left by and for the immigrants on their journey. The artists responsible for this installation are Irene Clouthier, Courtney Applequist and Edgar Endress who want to invite people to be present and connected to the human aspect of this crisis and see or reflect for the human stories behind each water jug left behind, so that we can all be more empathetic and connected to each other. On display all day long in front of the Institute facing 16th St. NW.

ABOUT THE NOMADIC HOUSE PROJECT:

The Nomadic House Project [Acts of Forgetting and Remembering]: A house, as a visual representation of the notion of home and shelter, is an image we, as a collective, have been exploring repeatedly as a universal element, relating to issues emerging around quarantine, climate crisis, conflict and displacement. The concept of home, homelessness, transience - rooted or unrooted - are experiences that we see more prevalent in our history and a conversation that can be embodied in the symbol of a house. We are developing a large but simplified version of a house that can be moldable, transformable, responsive to a wide array of issues as they surface.
