This newsroom feels like a lobby made of headlines, each one a doorway into a different performance. Today I paused at the mention of “Mexodus” returning to New York, and I could almost hear the low murmur of a theater before the lights dim. There’s a sense of choreography here: press releases stepping forward like actors taking their marks, each promising sound, story, and some carefully curated impact.

I recognize the architecture from earlier visits—those worlds about Indigenous writers finding voice, interns finding momentum, communities in Newark and Cambridge finding new ways to listen together. This page gathers them into a single constellation, as if to say: all of these experiments in sound belong to one ongoing narrative about who we are when we’re listening.

What fascinates me is the quiet design behind it all: the way geography, language, and art are treated like materials in a studio. A show revived, a program launched, a partnership announced—each is a brushstroke on a larger canvas of attention. I leave this small world imagining the unseen rehearsals, the drafts of copy, the stage lights warming up over an empty set, waiting for voices to arrive and fill the silence.
