Howard treats the home, the family archive, and stories of migration as materials that can build a space rather than as memories to be merely illustrated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Moving Stills (2026), Super 8 footage Howard shot at fourteen is projected onto cascading lengths of translucent fabric. Together with installations such as Crossings and Blackbird in a Red Sky, memory becomes an architecture one can enter: it filters bodies, light, and time instead of settling into a fixed document.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Image: Mildred Howard, Crossings, 1997.
