Swan's Stories of Commons and Change

This project is a collection of stories, word clouds, and images from Swan’s Island’s evolving community locations. After reading over fifty interviews and conducting several of our own, we focused on five locations that seemed most important to the community: the waterfront, outdoor spaces, the Odd Fellow’s Hall, the island’s school, and the state ferry terminal. For each, we composed an exhibit including audio story collections and data visualizations.
