The Pocasset Tribe of the Wampanoag Nation and the Fall River Arts and Culture Coalition are partnering to present “Echoes of the Pocasset and the Falling River.” This is a recreational and cultural project along various locations that follow the route of the Quequechan River.
The Quequechan used to support the Pocasset community by providing transport, fish, water, and ritual areas. Now a great deal of the river runs below the surface, under hundreds of years of expansion by the city and industrial growth.
The New England Foundation for the Art awarded one of its Spatial Justice Grants to this initiative last year. The Public Art for Spatial Justice program of the New England Foundation also contributed to the project as well as the Barr Foundation. Grants were also received from the local cultural councils of Westport, Somerset, Freetown, and Fall River, which are supported by the Mass Cultural Council.
The initiative is designed to make the public aware of its existence with navigational Signs, ‘water’ pavement indicators, installations, and a self-directed audio walking tour. There are also wayfinders as part of the exhibit to celebrate the history of the First People of Fall River.
Such exhibits often rely on brochure printing to provide more details about what is displayed and its background.
This exhibit will be open through Sunday August 17.
