✨ Join us Friday, August 28 from 6:00–9:00 PM for the opening reception of Trisha Baga's monumental, immersive installation “MORE”!

Through 3D video and sculptural scenography, Baga reflects on motherhood and “more”—a foundational word in a child’s vocabulary—to juxtapose the extractive logic of tech development with the primal impulse to nurture something that never stops asking. 🍼🤖

This event is the final stop 🛑 on Friday in a lineup of programming celebrating the opening weekend of the triennial “Here, To you, Now,” curated by Lumi Tan. 🌀

End the evening at PICA. 👓🌭 3D glasses and light fare provided!
