About this Event

New Red Order Presents: The Urge 2 Merge is an innovative live event format that weaves between public assembly, academic symposium, music and film festival. Artists, activists, and academics share the line-up with musicians and historical re-enactors in order to present a night of discursive delirium and historical hallucinations on the unruly legacy of Thomas Morton - Plymouth Colony’s most scandalous settler and proto-countercultural visionary.
Inspired by New Red Order’s new work Material Monument to Thomas Morton as part of the Boston Public Art Triennial the event will feature contributions from Basel Abbas + Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Peggy Ahwesh, Phil Deloria, Jack Dempsey, Lucky Dragons, Jim Fletcher, CSC (Les Leveque + Greg Fox), Grout, Ed Halter, Nile Harris, Firefly the Hybrid, Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, Josh Kline, Mary Amanda McNeil, Karthik Pandian, Jean-Luc Pierite, Alex Tatarsky + Shane Riley, Lana Romanova and more!!!
