The American rail system is a metaphor for how culture has changed over the centuries. Movement is freeing, because you escape certain oppressions, but it also leaves holes in your personal memory that you have a hard time overcoming. For violinist and composer Curtis Stewart, creation is a way of overcoming.
To celebrate America's 250th anniversary, Stewart looked to his own family's American story and used it as inspiration for his new set of 24 American Caprices.
Stewart is the host for I Am The Migration, where he interviews his father about how the movement of their family has shaped a sense of identity and reinvention.
