About this Event
We are thrilled to partner with singer/songwriter Chris Porterfield of Milwaukee's Field Report for our 2024 Rise & Thrive Artist Residency where he collaborated with five survivor-writers who created poems that explore their experiences of joy, resilience, and renewal in the aftermath of sexual trauma. From intimate conversations and close readings, Porterfield created original music in response to and inspired by their poetry, implementing their words as lyrics, and composing melodies and arrangements that best hold and honor those words and voices.
LOTUS Legal Clinic is hosting this benefit concert to celebrate the record release and the fruits of the residency, to showcase the voices of survivors, and to raise funds for future direct services for survivors.
ALL event and auction proceeds fund direct legal and support services to Wisconsin survivors of human trafficking and sexual violence.
Tickets are on sale NOW! $40 in advance/$45 at the door while available. Doors open at 6pm for early auction bidding! Show starts around 7:30. This is a 21+ event.
