Abstract

My Family, Our Yard is an attempt to document the story of the land that I was raised on, and my family’s emotional connection to it. As a gravitational force in our lives, this land was not received in a traditional fashion. I wanted to show how care for the land has been translated into care for each other, in our family’s case.

My name is Ryley Fallon, and I am a first-year Southern Studies MA student on the thesis track. I am originally from Lucedale, MS and just finished up my bachelor’s in Raleigh, North Carolina. “My Family, Our Yard” is a video project for 533: Fieldwork & Oral History.
