Re-animation House was a project consisting of a series of workshops culminating in an exhibition centered around the theme of ‘home’. Taking place in the Bronx, New York and supported by Casita Maria, these workshops centered around recreating early cinematic devices with off-the-shelf materials. These devices were used as an entry-point for a dialogue about home and place with several children involved in the Casita Maria program. Based on these conversations, short, metaphorical animations were created.
