Word That's Heard
The inception of WTH was the Lannan Foundation's donation of literary
videos. The first programs were our "Voices of the Village" subjects responding to a Lannan author: Soler &
Rodriguez to poet Victor Hernandez Cruz, Salah Mateos' spiritual speech with Ernesto Cardenal's faith, Ramona Peters' art
and Joy Harjo's poetry.
We did move on to profile our"Voices" articulating without this sort
of fusion, but are grateful for the inspiration. For more info. about the Foundation's support of creativity
and diversity of artists, writers, and indigenous communities, contact 1-888-329-1847.

Word That's Heard, our cable television series broadcast in 11 communities from 2000-2004, articulated our values:
dedication to the spoken word, written word, and word as performed and transformed through multi-media. Our productions
have gathered many wonderful resources with guest appearances by regional artists, humanists, and educators. We'd like
to thank New Bedford Public Access Studios for use of their production facilities for some of our early programs.
A recent award of a $500,000 grant from Save America's Treasures will enable the ship to
get much needed reconstruction to enable her Second Hundred Years. Viva Ernestina! and thank you to the National
collaborating grantors. We could ask for no better holiday news.

These artists and educators have explored their media with conscious awareness of their Franco heritage and/or an aesthetic
nourished by that heritage. C'est formidable!
