Pat Mesiti-Miller’s 2025-26 Artist Residency
“What can you imagine?”
1000 Whispers From Our Future is a new creative project from Pat Mesiti-Miller.
Born from the more than decade of work creating storytelling projects, platforms, and education programs inside California Prisons, 1000 Whispers examines systemic and historical forces that have attempted to separate us from each other, from the land, and ultimately ourselves. It invites us to look at the walls constructed between us, the walls within ourselves, and transcends these barriers from our present moment through our visions of a better future.
Through workshops, community building, and spatial sound performance, 1000 Whispers creates space and tools for reflection, healing, and self-empowerment. It is both community building and educational. This project provides a safe and accessible framework to access points of personal and collective struggle, and creative tools and exercises to support us in our healing.
1000 Whispers From Our Future explores the abolitionist principle: as we dismantle systems of harm and oppression, we must also imagine new ways and worlds of being, new systems of care, and join in building them together.
