Dial-Up coordinated by Colleen O’Connor, inspired from idea by Katherine Durack: A series of dynamic and participatory community conversations with artists, musicians, entrepreneurs, and others to inspire connection to ones’ neighbors both near and far through shared-experiences.

Referencing past ways of communicating and connecting with larger groups of people through telephone party-lines and internet chat rooms – Dial-Up’s approach is inclusive and plural. It does not discriminate or eliminate participation, and intends to reflect, commiserate, and postulate on what we are currently experiencing, how we are coping, and why our world will never be the same.

This project is made possible through the management of Wave Pool and funded by The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr./U.S. Bank Foundation
