Local Control

Troubled by the national discontent surrounding the 2016 presidential election, an artist sits outside the polls of a small New Hampshire town and draws portraits of voters as they comment on contemporary life and the state of American democracy.Combining humor, pathos, and cultural critique, this illustrated fiction paints a picture of the social tensions in rural America during Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaigns: a tipping point in US political history.Local Control features contributions from thirty artists, writers, musicians, dancers, actors, filmmakers, and business professionals.
