PART THREE: TERRILL HAIGLER + AMZE EMMONS
What does it mean to be a part of a community? How can small acts lead to bigger change?
We start the pilot season of Our Shared Field on a subject near and not-so-dear to the city of Philadelphia: the trash on our “dirtiest city in America” streets. Terrill Haigler, sanitation worker and activist, and Amze Emmons, printmaker and teacher, join me to talk about the ways in which this city’s trash has inspired them to create and build community, and how tackling a city’s overwhelming issues can begin with cleaning up the block.
In part three of the conversation, Amze and Terrill sit down together to talk about their love of the local, and the early stages of the project they're working on together!
The music for this episode was created by Arthur Thomas and the Funkitorium, a funk-meets-hip hop 6-piece band from Philadelphia.
