White Snake Projects has rolled out Indigenous Stories, a free augmented-reality experience that lets visitors stream Native artists' performances on phones while walking Boston's Freedom Trail.
3 landmark stops highlighted in the report—Faneuil Hall, the Old State House and Boston Common—frame artists' interpretations of historical events involving their ancestors.
Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor created 2 pieces for the tour, including one at the Old State House tied to Gov. William Phips' scalp-bounty proclamation against Indigenous people.
Brookline-based founder Cerise Lim Jacobs said the project aims to uplift voices "that haven't been heard before," using art as resistance; the nonprofit's next major event, Requiem for America, is set for November.
