Towards tells the story of individuals moving toward each other and their vision of a world they want to inhabit. The installation uses video, light, music and place to curate an immersive experience. It will be on display at the Navy Pier in Chicago for a month starting the evening of August 19 through September 15, 2024.

The project captures videos of people from across the country 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. Made up of 5 10-foot tall screens, it will include video, sound, and light and act as a community gathering point in a public setting for visitors to witness the forward movement of people from across the country. Towards is supported by The Hearthland Foundation and part of Next Stop Chicago.
