Five artists come together to share their experiences from journeys across the globe. Using photographs, essays, poetry, and music, they discuss not only the people, politics, love, and emotion found during their travels, but the self-discovery that followed on the long road home.

Poetry // Brandi MacDonald

------------------------------------

Travels (Anar Badalov & Mona Elliott) make bedroom recordings handled with care, and like to surprise people by playing loud and rocking it out live. Travels has 3 full length CDs out; the first one is self-titled and has individually made covers -over 600 made so far! The second is called The Hot Summer and was released on Valentine's Day, 2009. The 3rd, Robber on the Run, will officially be released via Own Records on June 10, 2010.

2008 NH Slam Team Finalist Brandi MacDonald was a contributing poet for “Just Like A Girl: A Manifesta!” and misses her literary journal, Seldom Nocturne, which she ran from 2002 until 2005. Her most recent collection, Coloring Book, offers a tiny little peek into her windows.

Sarah Coughtry is a freelance photographer who is getting her Masters in Social Work and preparing herself for a career in international human rights work. Nomadic in lifestyle, she documents her experiences through images, poetry, and prose while connecting deeply with each new community she enters. Having recently returned from Seattle, she plans to move to Uganda in September to work with the HIV community and study gender roles.

Jessica Hosman studied photography and Spanish language and culture at the University of Massachusetts. She lived in Spain for a year, where she simultaneously lost and found herself. As an artist and photographer, she enjoys exploring the relationships between objects and between people. She uses photography to observe cultural differences, and to observe how the political and social history of a region manifests in the current perspectives, traditions, and moralities of its people.
