I suffer from Ocular Migraines which are triggered by any factor that, on exposure or withdrawal, leads to the development of an acute migraine headache. Triggers may be categorized as behavioral, environmental, infectious, dietary, chemical, or hormonal — these factors are known as ‘precipitants.’ It made we wonder just how many ‘precipitants’ we Clevelanders encounter each day and just how they formulate our perceptions of the city. And I wondered what the ‘precipitants’ would look like mapped out. This map is a collection of 5 years of sounds, images, videos, oral histories, objects and visual art that tells a story about how Cleveland makes me and my neighbors feel.
