Bear Witness

Holy Calamity scream insanity...
www.versionfest.org

Plagued with the strongest buff system in the world and a Mayor determined to reign for life, Chicago’s street history has been blasted, erased, dissolved, and painted brown in hopes that all will forget. The Upset--it’s that unexpected win, here and now is where and when. Our triumph is over these vast oppressors whom previously buffed their way into our existence. These perpetrators attempted to destroy a culture by eradicating its history. Our intentions and motivations are not self-centered, but altruistic. Our documentation is to be shared to the effect that the streets, and those that have claimed them, will never be forgotten.
