What happens when artists dare to change the world? How can art and community come together to reimagine the way we live? A Blade of Grass presented a screening of FIELDWORKS: Season One at The 8th Floor in New York City, featuring a Q&A with Jan Cohen-Cruz, ABOG's Director of Field Research, and filmmaker Ava Wiland from RAVA Films.

FIELDWORKS is a short documentary series presented by A Blade of Grass that explores the beauty, rigor, and impact of socially engaged art through its ABOG Fellow initiatives. FIELDWORKS: Season One, produced by RAVA Films and One Hundred Seconds, spotlights ABOG’s Distinguished Fellow, Mel Chin, and 2014 ABOG Fellows: Brett Cook, Pablo Helguera, Fran Ilich, Jan Mun, SexEd and Jody Wood.
