No Place Like Home

The news media sometimes portrays life at the Southern border as dangerous and chaotic. For the residents of Edinburg, Texas, that’s a big problem. Especially because it’s not true. 

In our second episode, we explore how the Edinburg community embraces the Arts for Everybody campaign with arms and creative minds wide open. By reclaiming their narrative through an original musical, they create a piece that would make even the legendary Frida Kahlo proud.

What is No Place Like Home?

No Place Like Home is the story of one of the largest public art campaigns in American History: Arts For Everybody. On July 27th, 2024, 18 communities across the country staged simultaneous performances hoping to answer one big question: can art help heal our divided nation? In this documentary podcast, we go inside these communities, speaking with artists, leaders, and public health experts to learn how they are using art to transform society, with surprising results. Narrated by award-winning poet Marc Bamuthi Joseph.
