It’s Morning Again In America

Gabriel Sosa and Greer Muldowney

It's Morning Again in America (2019), a collaboration between Muldowney and Sosa, integrates photographs of a quickly gentrifying Somerville with text from a 1984 Reagan campaign ad in a gesture that reminds us of the rhetorical tropes in U.S. politics as well as the fallible persistence of the American Dream.
