Trajectories
For their ongoing Trajectories project, Hughen/Starkweather interview residents from a variety of neighborhoods and backgrounds in South Florida about their personal experiences with floods and displacement. They research past and future trajectories of displacement due to climate migration and climate gentrification; hurricane trajectories; and evacuation and flood maps. One resulting installation, shown here, included audio excerpts from the interviews, stained fabric artworks, sculpture, and public walks with the artists from ocean to bay across the barrier island of Miami Beach looking at flooding solutions and failures.
The text on the fabric artworks — "You dont know you have to leave until it is too late to leave" — is an excerpt from one of the artists’ interviews with a South Florida resident. These words also describe catastrophic climate events in other places around the world, including fire, drought, and heat.
