HOME IS A PASSING FEELING
When drought hits the American homeland in a serious way, a variety of visual artists and community members struggle over the idea of a future in a world without water. In the end, each one is trying to define their meaning of home, and to use their talents (if not to save the world) then at least to ease its pain.

WHERE ALL GOOD RABBITS GO
During the Age of the Rabbit, no one died. That is to say no one died in the typical way we now view death (the mystical removal of life from the body). Instead people became rabbits. This could happen very suddenly, or gradually over a long period of time. But sooner or later everyone became a rabbit.
