Eaux Claires Festival Information

When we announced the For Wisconsin project, we were trusting in sincerity. From the first, we were looking for conversation, not conversion. Conversation in voices designed to be heard by each other, not over each other. The voices we use when we visit. Your voice was exactly that.

We are not machineswe are not machines. The warehouse filled up with peoplein a blurall kinds of people.
