a living altar

NOV 12 - 15, 2026

Through sound, breath, and the act of gathering, a living altar emerges in response to collective crises, including ongoing genocide, climate collapse, and spiritual disconnection. It is an offering to come together in a moment of solidarity with one another and with the earth. The work invites a return to what has been forgotten and a reimagining of what is still possible.

mine to keep

NOV 20 - 22, 2026

Mine to Keep is a ghost story about the things that refuse to belong to anyone but themselves. Drawing on Black American folklore, it conjures histories of dismemberment, unrecognized labor, denied safety, and spiritual life under oppression, where the body becomes both property and battleground. The work asks what survives when sovereignty is stolen and what happens when the dead, the dismembered, and the dispossessed come back to claim what is theirs.
