​Holding What Can't Be Held invites artists to contemplate the legacy of Idaho's involvement in the nuclear industry and the radioactive waste in our own backyard.

explores the possessive “My” through narratives, art and sound. Every Monday, we publish a new audio, performance or experimental piece where only one rule applies:  the title must begin with the determiner “My”.

My on Mondays' thirteenth episode is by Teal Gardner. Gardner (she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Boise, ID, where she has resided since 2016. This recording explores the slippages among ecosystems, the human self, and the ruins produced by extraction. It features a sound experiment that replicates Alivn Lucier's 1969 "I Am Sitting in a Room."
