Welcome to Voices and Visions of Village Life

Our new book, Languages of the Land: A Dialogue With The Downs, captures the multisensory experiences and layered stories of the installation that premiered at the Warwick Museum of Art in 2007. This visual and textual portrait, created by artist Holly Ewald and folklorist Michael Bell, invites readers to interact with the history and folklife embedded in this beloved Warwick bayside park. Like history, itself, the book presents multiple layers to leaf through and decipher. We hope that it opens a universe of imagination and inspires others to look more closely at the intricacies of their own favorite places.
