Horn Island

The following is a video by Memphis filmmaker Willie Bearden entitled "Horn Island Voices". It focusses on an annual expedition taken by Memphis College of Art students, faculty, and alumni to Horn Island, a small barrier island just of the gulf coast of Mississippi. Willie put it together in celebration of the expedition's 25th anniversary in 2009. Some of my good friends, Bob Riseling, Don Dumont, Lisa Tribo, and I (with considerably shorter--and not yet tamed--hair) are featured in the video being interviewed by Willie. Those of you who've had me in class before may have already seen this. However, with upcoming meetings that will discuss the expedition in the near future, I thought I'd begin the recruiting. I'm also working on a video of my own that I'll post here soon that is a bit more of a practical introduction to what the Horn Island expedition is. If this sounds like something you'd like to do, then I'd suggest you attend those meetings and get information.

THE FIRST INFORMATION-GATHERING MEETING IS FRIDAY, FEB. 24 AT 3:50PM IN MYERS.


"Horn Island Voices," and all footage therein, is the property of Willie Bearden.
