The article discusses Sasha's experiences sneaking into the Providence Place Mall, where she and her friends ventured into restricted areas. A documentary titled 'Secret Mall Apartment' chronicles a hidden residence created by artists in the mall between 2003-2007. Directed by Jeremy Workman, the film features interviews and footage, highlighting the underground art scene. Initially premiered at SXSW, it faced delays for its release at the mall, which went into receivership in late 2024. Sasha's connection to the story deepens the narrative of youthful rebellion against social norms.
Director Jeremy Workman took that story, which had become apocryphal among those in the know in Providence, to create a film using dozens of hours of footage taken on digital point-and-shoot cameras and interviews with all of the previously unnamed tenants.
The only thing deterring people from entering these halls was social convention. We live in a society. We don't walk through doors with signs that say authorized personnel only.
