November in Nebraska

I’m thrilled to be spending most of this beautiful Fall month at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in Nebraska City, Nebraska. I’m here to continue developing my newest project, tentatively titled Gun Talk, which brings people together from across gun experiences and views to find common ground and new ways forward.

I’ve been researching this project for just over a year now, traveling to places across the country to do field work and ethnographic study. I’ve visited a wide range of states, each with their own unique gun policies, practices, and cultures:

It’s been lovely to share my ideas with my exceptional fellow Kimmel residents, talk to Nebraska locals about their gun backgrounds, and get inspired every day to keep trying to tackle one of the most complicated issues our country faces.

More on the project as it continues to develop!
