Groundswell attended the 2007 Farm Aid Concert, an annual benefit to promote and provide resources for the work of family farmers. Throughout the day, artists Eduardo Rabel and Clare Herron worked with concertgoers to collaboratively create a pair of banners exploring the idea of "home grown." The concertgoers added in details that spoke to them; they painted everything from dots to flowers to heartfelt messages. The result is a visually energetic piece that speaks to the collaboration and unity found in family farmer circles.
