Witherspoon-Jackson Past and Present In our initial observations when studying and documenting the area of Witherspoon-Jackson we were drawn to the life of the porches and the objects that populated this area. We noticed how active porch life was in the community, both during the day and at night, as this space not only offered storage and display but was also a site for neighborly conversation and exchange. Whether the area was fitted with potted plants, election signs, or free books that were left for neighbors to view or take, each porch began to show a peak at the life of the interior.
Stop Motion Yardsale This led to an interest in display and exchange, and helped us plan our institution’s first event, a yard sale held on our community lawn pavement blanket. Neighbors were invited to bring any items they wished to sell and helped unroll the blanket in the morning and then roll it back up in the evening.
