Military history can be difficult to conceptualize, imagine, and honor. At the Camden Battlefield in South Carolina, we sought to highlight the ways in which the history of a battlefield offers powerful connections to our histories, our communities, and ultimately our resilience as a nation. Here, we created an immersive multichannel audio experience that is permanently installed in the landscape. We commissioned an original theatrical script from playwright Justin Sherin, and a score from Chris Funk of the Decemberists, a libretto that draws visitors into the story, and offers an alternative to a more traditional curatorial approach.
Primary project partners include: Steelab, Chris Funk, Justin Sherin, AV&C, Doug Bostick and the fantastic team at the American Battlefield Trust
