In August, 2015, Stuart Chittenden set off across Nebraska in an RV, in search of cultures, conversations and community. a couple of 830 mile long conversations is a long hello to and from Nebraska. One mile at a time, one conversation at a time, this project is about exploring and building connections in the state.Stuart set up a public conversation space in towns on the route and talked with residents about their lives, their cultures and their stories. In these conversations, he hopes to discover people and, in so doing, reveal Nebraska to ourselves.
