OHMA EXHIBITS: a collection of interactive oral history encounters

Swallowed Whole: Where the Land Holds Memory (2025)

By Emma McAvoy


Join us for a virtual presentation of Swallowed Whole: Traces of a Past Buried in the Earth, a multimedia oral history project exploring memory, exile, and rediscovery through the story of Kaja Weeks and her family's flight from Soviet-occupied Estonia. This immersive website weaves together interview excerpts, archival footage, poetry, and imagery of a growing sinkhole that marks the site of a long-buried past. The session will include a guided walkthrough, discussion, and Q&A.

NOTE: This online exhibit opens April 28 2025 and is accessible by invitation only.
