Rise & Thrive Concert Fundraiser

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 release of the new album, "Trust in Movements Made" by Field Report and the fruits of the residency, and to raise funds for future direct services for survivors.
