Against the Current was three major video installations sited along over a mile of Willamette River shoreline in Portland, Oregon on the Eastside Esplanade. Because the expanse of the installation was so great and to emphasize the lighting of the shoreline as a gesture of healing, two Lantern Bearers guided visitors along the pathway using portable battery powered mini projectors. Images of "Dreamers" that also appear at "Springs" were able to be projected on the architecture and landscapes between the three major sites. The "Dreamers" are Jaleesa Johnston and Sophia Wright Emigh. The Lantern Bearers are Kathryn Garcia and Elisa Barrios.
