Date and Time

Wed, Oct 20, 2021 - 5:00pm

Location

Fine Arts Building 124 - Western Gallery

Part of the Exhibition

"We will not be Silent," 2021

Sasha Petrenko, artist, assistant professor of sculpture and expanded media will lead participants through a collective performance experience. We will explore our fear, anxiety, curiosity through a sonic somatic public ritual resulting in a collective aural catharsis. Music may be a natural byproduct of the event.

The Perspectives Series brings together scholars from a range of backgrounds and interests to lead informal 45-minute discussions of topics conjured by the art installations.
