FREQUENCIES is an after-dark multimedia destination that spotlights the sounds and sights of Allston-Brighton. People who live, work, and play in the neighborhood submitted their own short form videos, audio recordings, and photos, capturing everyday moments that sparked joy, familiarity, and togetherness. Artists Allison Tanenhaus and Maria Finkelmeier—who met at the Harvard Ed Portal—put these collected materials through a signature remix.
Experience the artwork every night at the Harvard Ed Portal anytime from 5pm–10pm, November 4 – February 28. The presentation will run on a 20-minute loop and will be viewable from the sidewalk outside of the Harvard Ed Portal, rain or shine. Please socially distance and observe COVID-19 safety protocols.
DETAILS + RSVP at edportal.harvard.edu/frequencies
Musician and composer Finkelmeier mashed up the patterns, rhythms, and hidden melodies of the crowdsourced sounds. Then Tanenhaus added kaleidoscopic colors, shapes, and textures as visual accompaniment to the soundtrack. The final installation is a celebratory collaboration between the artists with (and for!) the community.
Throughout New England’s long winter nights, see Allston-Brighton in a whole new way as pulsating compositions beam out of the windows and reverberate off the sidewalk. Swing by to see and hear the neighborhood as an epically eye- and ear-catching public art experience!
Also, join Sights + Sounds –  an outdoor community workshop on November 18 where you’ll meet the artists, plus capture your own sights and sounds of the neighborhood to submit for a second version of the mural opening in January.Â
