Stop by Seaport Common for a swing from January 15th through March 15th.
Seaport's newest, interactive art installation on Seaport Common, Mi Casa, Your Casa 2.0, consists of 16 three-dimensional red frames, each emblematic of a small house. The art installation, created by artists Esrawe + Cadena, and presented in collaboration with Creos and Serge Maheu, was inspired by the mercados of Latin America, lively street markets where human connections are made every day.
The installation creates a moment to reflect on the meaning of home, a theme which has taken on even greater significance in the last year. Together, the tiny houses offer a canvas for play and engagement, allowing visitors to look through the walls of adjacent homes which offers a view into their neighbor's parallel journey.
When a casa is empty, a welcoming white glow bids you to enter. Once inside, the glow intensifies to show that someone is home. Each structure is also complete with a swing, allowing the space to be as playful and interactive as you desire.
