Texas Folklife: The Folklorist Next Door
Our Transnational Plant Lives
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Through the stories of community members from Houston’s East End, this episode explores how culture bearers have sustained relationships with the land through transnational plant-ways, affirming their identities, in the face of colonization, migration, and neighborhood changes over time. Throughout, Alba Donajhi bears witness and synthesizes her own plant life in her accidental homeland.
