DESCRIPTION:A Secret History of American River People from the deck of a traditional 
 shantyboat\n\nSanta Cruz artist Wes Modes built a traditional shantyboat to 
 float down American rivers to gather the lost stories of river people. He 
 and the crew just returned from the Mississippi where they spent part of 
 the summer interviewing dozens of people who work and live on the river. 
 The collection will serve as an archive for future scholars as well as be 
 publicly-accessible online. When not on the river, the shantyboat itself 
 serves as the project library and archive and will be temporarily sited at 
 museums and galleries starting with the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and 
 History in November.\n\nOn Thursday September 11th, he will offer a 
 reportback on the journey, with photos, video, and reportbacks from the 
 rest of the crew.\n\nSecret History Expedition Reportback\nThursday 
 September 11 at 7pm\nSubRosa Community Space\n703 Pacific Ave, Downtown 
 Santa Cruz\n\nIn late July, after an epic cross-country journey, California 
 artists Wes Modes and Kai launched the shantyboat on the Mississippi River 
 starting in Minneapolis. Joined by Jeremiah for awhile, they floated for 
 five weeks over several hundred river miles, stopping in big and little 
 town to interview river people. The journey is detailed in the project 
 website at http://peoplesriverhistory.us/\n\nSecret History is an art and 
 history journey to discover, present, and connect the lost narratives of 
 working-class river communities from the deck of a recreated shantyboat. A 
 few generations ago, communities of shantyboats, or rustic houseboats, 
 lined the banks of the river in every river town in America. Now they are 
 mostly gone and soon the stories will be lost as well. The project is an 
 attempt to capture and preserve some of these stories for current and 
 future generations.\n
