  • Decay Devils

    Preserving history is at the forefront of our adventures, community outreach, and rehabilitation projects. Based out of Northwest Indiana, the Decay Devils have gone from playing in to actively restoring abandoned buildings. Through our travels, we’ve discovered that some of Earth’s greatest treasures are in danger of being reclaimed by nature. We aim to protect and restore these monuments with our preservation efforts, but we cannot achieve our goals alone. Preserving history takes linked hands, charitable donations, and a shared vision. Learn more about the Decay Devils and find out how you can help with our landmark preservation efforts.

  • AWDIP 2.0 Photography

    Artist focused on producing photographs that capture and convey the range of human experiences. Using familiar symbols, eccentric locations and a variety of modeling talent, he create an artistic space wherein the viewer finds beauty in the unusual environments.

  • Welcome Project

    The Welcome Project collects first-person audio and video stories and pairs its stories with facilitated conversation to foster curiosity about difference and to forge stronger communities as those communities become increasingly diverse. All of the stories gathered by the Welcome Project are first-person accounts in which participants describe how events mattered to them. We value these accounts for the perspective they provide on experience even when the stories do not reflect the views of the Welcome Project staff. First person stories derive their power from the specific location of a particular individual. By valuing each individual perspective, we hope to provide a space where a collective portrait begins to emerge.
