Santa Fe Wind Phone

Maternal Mitochondria has a new installation up in Santa Fe- a wind phone! There is currently some construction around the site, but it should be done in 1-2 weeks.

We are also featured on the website My Wind Phone, a global directory and resource dedicated to helping people find, create, and share Wind Phones around the world. Use their interactive map to find other wind phones!

Wind phones are an international project started in Japan (by Itaru Sasaki) as a way of processing grief. Opened to the public in 2011, after the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, wind phones allow the participants to call and have a conversation with deceased loved ones. There are now more than 500 wind phones around the world, although this is the first that we know of in New Mexico.

Our Home Gardens – Virtual Exhibition Catalog!

“While the physical show has concluded, for those who couldn’t attend, or wish to revisit, this online catalog includes all the images in the show (and additions) with the artists’ bio/statements. In this catalog, we’ve added: a video walkthrough, recommended books, and responses to the show by invited writers.”  -Laurie Tumer
