High Iron will be a traveling piece of public art—a modified train car—that will travel westward from Laramie, Wyoming, connecting former rail towns along the Interstate 80 corridor. It will house an interactive labor exhibit, an oral history collection station, and will be a center of accompanying community programming in each city it visits. High Iron will travel stories of ancestors who built the transcontinental railroad, shining light on buried narratives of an incredibly diverse state, a culture of care, and immigrant contribution.**
Team Members include: Aubrey Edwards, Laura Zorch McDermit and Conor Mullen.
