This house once sat in Detroit. But after it was threatened with demolition, it found a new home — in #Berlin, of all places. Inside, Ryan Mendoza, a Berlin-based American artist, has been putting on half-hour-long sound performances that include excerpts from a 1957 radio interview that was conducted with Rosa Parks in this very building, which once belonged to her brother. “It’s my job to keep the house alive,” Ryan explained. Last year, Rhea McCauley, Rosa’s niece, met Ryan in Detroit. For an earlier art project, he’d successfully transported an abandoned house from Detroit to Europe. Rhea told him she couldn’t find anyone interested in saving the family home. Ryan, who makes his living as a fine-arts painter, agreed to help. He raised a little over $100,000 by selling some of his paintings and set out for Detroit. There, he worked with a local team to take apart the house, and shipped the wooden exterior to Berlin. He spent the winter painstakingly rebuilding it, mostly alone, by hand. “It was an act of love,” he said. The German city has since embraced the little house from Detroit, which was photographed here by @gordonwelters.
