Institute Library Takes Long Strange Trip - New Haven Independent - published June 20, 2018
Lisa Seidenberg’s Letter from Mom succeeds with hilarious and heartfelt results. The video is of stock footage of white travelers in what looks like southern Spain and North Africa a few generations ago. The soundtrack is Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” played in a more Eastern mode. As the video progressed, the viewer is treated to text from a letter Seidenberg got her from her mother while her mother was traveling across southern Spain and North Africa.
“We took the ferry back and drove to Cadiz. But we left because we could not find hotel rooms,” we learn. “We left Aunt Florence in Granada.”
