About this Event

Step into Passages—a one-night takeover where art, sound, and performance collide. Wander the galleries as poets, dancers, and musicians perform intimate, site-specific performances. No stage. No seating chart. Each piece is repeated periodically throughout the evening, allowing you to wander, return, and experience the works from different perspectives and moments in time.

Come for one passage—stay for many.
