<p>What turns a house into a home, and a neighborhood into a community?</p> <p>The intention with which Mexico City-based sculptor <a href="http://anamayafarthingkohl.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Anamaya Farthing-Kohl</a> and West Philly block captain <a href="https://www.gridphilly.com/blog-home/2020/8/31/pollinator-gardens?rq=Aminata%20Calhoun" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Aminata Sandra Calhoun</a> care for the spaces they call home is remarkable. While ‘home’ means something different for each guest, they’ve both expanded the definition to exist outside of their own walls. For Aminata, a clean, cared-for home includes the block it is situated within, and for Anamaya, the actual form a home takes can be ever-shifting.</p> <p><strong>Today, Anamaya and Aminata share the last conversation of the season. We begin by talking about the things that, for Aminata and Anamaya, make a place feel like a home.</strong></p> <p>Music in this episode was created specifically for this podcast by Philly indie band <a href="https://lesterphiladelphia.bandcamp.com/">Lester</a>, who pulls listeners in close with soundscapes that build and unravel.</p> <p>Check out our <a href="https://chat.squarespace.com/our-shared-field" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">website</a> to read more about the musicians and our guests, and to follow their collaborations together.</p> <p>Thank you to technical director Eric Carbonara at <a href="https://www.nadasoundstudio.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">NadaSoundStudio</a>, and to <a href="https://chat.squarespace.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the Center for Humanities at Temple University</a> for supporting this podcast.</p>
