Art is a beacon of hope, a reminder that beauty exists in all of us, and that our connection to one another is the most powerful medium of all.”
The event will feature interdisciplinary artists Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Beatie Wolfe, Media Pollution, Sarah Rara, claire rousay, L.Frank, Qur’an Shaheed, Carmina Escobar, and Odeya Nini, each presenting unique sound-based works that invite audiences to slow down, listen deeply, engage, and connect with one another. In addition, light artists Emery C. Martin and Kerstin Larissa Hovland are creating light-based sculptural installations at each site.
“Everyone has a valid and needed voice in this world, regardless if one is a trained musician or not, and this piece will make everyone sound sublime and in harmony. No one can silence us… Everyone’s voice in society is relevant and has its own divine intrinsic beauty and worth,” shares Miguel Atwood-Ferguson.
