We recently collaborated with Machine Project to create a series of fliers for their upcoming Walker Open Field residency, Summer Jubilee, which begins this Tuesday, July 19. The Summer Jubilee (and it is truly a jubilee—check out this great teaser video) is a two week long series of events that take place all over the Walker campus, including directly underneath the Open Field.

Remember France? It broke from within. That can happen here. We can only protect our own country within by making more of us understanding of each other’s freedom and each other’s work and possessions.

We don’t normally make posts based around music we like, but when that notion is combined with thoughtful design and good people doing good things, it only seems right share the awesomeness with others, and what better way to do that than with a blog post! Recently Sims, a Minneapolis rapper and Minnesota native, released his second full length album titled, “Bad Time…
