This proposal explores the complicated history of Fraser Mills and its surrounding communities through playful storytelling and worldbuilding. It celebrates the site’s industrial history, recognizes past inequalities, and explores diversity and acceptance in this special place.
Despite the systemic inequalities that existed in the early 20th century, it would seem the little community around Fraser Mills was somehow able to foster a cross cultural exchange built on mutual respect and understanding. While far from perfect, in Fraser Mills everyone slept under the same stars.
