For this spotlight feature, we did something a little different. We went “on location” with the South Providence People’s Archive (SPPA) led by PCL artists Edwige Charlot and k. funmilayo aileru and visited the home of Providence resident Cheryl Monroe. We got an up close look at SPPA’s one-on-one archiving session where they gather and record stories from residents, creating a multimedia archive of the lives of the South Providence community. Read some vignettes from Cheryl’s story and get a glimpse of the archiving in action.

This spring, Studio Loba sat down for a chat with Public Street artist team Dana Heng and Moy Chuong to learn more about their practice, their collaborations, and what they have in store for their PCL interventions. Read on to hear what they had to say.
