🗣Performance Announcement!

Join us this Thursday, May 18th from 5:30 - 7 pm at .rubincenter for the final performance of the first phase of Experiencing the Bosque in relationship to our beautiful exhibition Here, And the Wind.

Using movement and vocal improvisation I (Paola) will make visible the multiple layers of information that this project has imprinted in my body, tracing both the exhibition and the living memories I carry from the process. After 3 years of dedicated research in relationship to the Rio Bosque Wetlands Park, I am excited to share with all of you this core part of my research practice.

Please join us!
