'78 RECORDS: ERIE CANAL TO LOVE CANAL 1978-2008 is an event to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Love Canal environmental disaster and its relationship to contemporary environmental issues. This project connects Erie Canal history, the Salt City of Syracuse, and environmental projects in New York state including the planned Peace Bridge expansion in Buffalo as well as Onondaga Lake and Onondaga Creek in Syracuse. The live event will feature field recordings made during my journey along the Erie Canal, and interviews with Buffalo and Syracuse activists. The Buffalo event will also feature a screening of documentaries about Love Canal. Join us for an evening of salty snacks and spinning wheels!
