April is Genocide Remembrance Month. 
 As we honor and remember the stories that refuse to be erased, we invite you to witness Vrej’s story of Artsakh, and to feel the shared responsibility to listen, to bear witness, and to speak. In that spirit, My Sweet Land airs on @worldchannel this month. Tune in and share! Stream @MYSWEETLANDFILM for FREE all April and May on PBS.ORG or the PBS App and check your local listings!

We’re excited to share that My Sweet Land is now available to watch on @pbs for free! This film honors the children born into war zones, reminding us to watch their quiet resistance and listen closely to their truth. Our deepest gratitude goes to Vrej and his family, whose generosity of spirit, of memory and of place brought this film into existence. We’re deeply grateful to our partners at @itvsindies and @pbs for being the home of this story in the U.S. This film would not exist without this team who believed in the story of Vrej and Artskah, from its soil to its soul.

This weekend I traveled to the remarkable city of #Chicago to catch @yokoono ’s show at @mcachicago before it closes tomorrow. Much to my surprise, I was also blessed to catch @fireleibaez ’s brilliant show on the 1st floor, and doubly blessed to visit #thebeanchicago and other public works in #millenniumpark with the one and only @gabe.sidel , our younger son, who is curious and kind and more. Long live art. #lovenotwar ❤️ (thx for the hot tip @cappuccino222 !!!)
