Creation of Dialogue and the national tour was covered by award winning documentary crews.
The final film covers
the cross country adventure, event installations and reactions from the audience.
While exploring freedom of expression,
the creative process and the healing
potential of innate wisdom, the Dialogue
community installation and its crew travel across the
United States, visiting over 9 diverse cities,
including: Chicago, San Francisco, DC,
Denver, Santa Fe and New York.
Unfolding like a narrative drama, Dialogue
demonstrates how profoundly the un-
expected can inspire, how our public spaces
are being co-opted and, in moving interview
footage, how the wisdom of the ages
revitalizes livesall against the back-drop
of America's ever-changing landscape.
It's not easy taking a public art installation cross country, though, and as the crew gets bogged down by road fatigue,
they are harassed in some locations, get swamped by the weather and ignored in others. Rallied by appreciative viewers and
a surprise meeting with one of the luminaries quoted on the panels, they forge on...
Critics are saying:
"The bold story of an inspiring community art project and its compelling journey across the United States ..."
"... a provocative, revealing and meditative glimpse into the creative process and America's social landscape."
