ELFLAND is a compilation of archival documents, photographs, essays, questions and poems created by neighbors in Somerville, MA in winter 2022. It tells the story of a vacant lot where an 8-year old started building tiny houses for elves. Strangers slowly began to pitch in, elfland grew, and the lot was transformed into a community art space.
