Mary Rothlisberger

Palouse, Washington

June 7, 2007 – July 10, 2007 as a resident

June 5, 2008 – July 24, 2008 as a producer

Molly Goldberg and Mary Rothlisberger met elsewhere. Somewhere between the this and the that, the here and the there, the dear and the from, they built a landscape of friendship– a series of sites for shared belonging. Through the construction of temporary, moveable dwellings and gathering spaces, through storytelling amd music making, they explore questions of community, interdependence, migration, home and inbetweenness. Their collaborations merge in the passions of a dedicated community organizer and an inspiring teacher and friend-maker: making homes and crossing lines, dotting eyes, singing for supper, and setting a place at the table for every good idea. Together they made a project called Elsewhere Book Project, which is undocumented.
