"You Are Right Where You Need To Be"

Cross Border Communication, Windsor, Ontario.

GOOD Magazine reports on an "artist-led urban improvement group" bent on rectifying the relationship between the neighboring cities of Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan:

Not long ago, if you had stood at the edge of Detroit and looked south– across the river to the neighboring city of Windsor, Ontario– you might have spotted an odd but fascinating, billboard-sized projection. “We’re in this together,” it beamed in thick block letters. Using a borrowed projector and Windsor’s riverside Chrysler building as canvas, Justin Langlois and his posse from Broken City Lab launched their Cross Border Communication project in the Fall of 2009 with a series of dispatches for the people of Detroit. “The message was meant to be read in a few different ways,” says Langlois. “It’s both we need to work on things together and we kind of screwed each other… so we’re in this together.”
