"It was a refuge, a place of freedom where as kids, as teens, and as burgeoning adults, my siblings and friends had a space of freedom that we created outside the confines of a world where we were taught how to be, vs where we could explore who we were becoming." - Ari

One piece by Ari Mejia called "The Spot" is a sonic exploration with experimental sound design that takes you to the secret little childhood hideaway. The Spot was a home hidden inside under Ari's childhood home (cont.)

The theme is Heartland, interpreted through stories, songs, and poetry that take us through young love, old memories, and the ever-evolving ideas of home.

One piece submitted by James Boo places listeners in the shoes of Kavi Vu who moves to Vietnam decades after her family had left that country as refugees. By relocating, Kavi suddenly confronts the very meaning of "home" — and finds some laughs along the way.

One piece by Michaela Marchi explores archival audio of her father visiting his father in La Patria, or his homeland, his "heartland". To Michaela, this opens the door to a conversation about the push and pull when a person leaves their heartland.
