Neil Tyrone Pritchard’s creation of Our Family Quilt—a new multimedia performance work that weaves together songs, stories, projections,
and found materials to explore identity, ancestry, and the fragments of personal and collective memory that shape us. Inspired by the metaphor of a family quilt, the piece invites reflection on loss, legacy, and the dignity of preserving and presenting one’s own story.
