A collaboration with Michael Murphy, TOWARDS tells the story of individuals moving toward each other and their vision of a world they want to inhabit. The installation curates an immersive experience using video, light, music, and place.

The project captures videos of people from across the country who are working to help create a world where everyone thrives. From neighborhood impact to national influence, these individuals work every day to make a difference in their communities and country.

The work features site-specific, multi-genre music and interweaves the voices of these everyday people into a composition of instrumentation and spoken word. Residents of Chicago form the basis of the installation, with additional filming in communities from New York, NY to New Orleans, LA from Bears Ears, UT to Detroit, MI to Phoenix, AZ.

TOWARDS is supported by The Hearthland Foundation (hearthlandfoundation.org), and part of Next Stop Chicago.
