Badgered is a show about being creative, even when you might not feel like it. It’s about being badgered by your own thoughts (and sometimes your best friend) to MAKE something.
It’s a show about being pestered to break the cycle of work, eat, sleep, repeat.
It’s about two artists who turn everything into an artwork, a project, or a game.
And it’s about always getting better, or at least failing in the most enjoyable way possible.
Follow along for inspiration, camaraderie, or a just a little bit of fun.
