The Dance Court and Public Kitchen serve as installations designed to help us reimagine, experiment and realize the ways in which public infrastructures can improve the quality of our lives. We have room to imagine the futures we want to create! Doing this takes experimentation and creativity. To spark this, we invite you to experience the Dance Court and Public Kitchen as “productive fictions" in Mary Hannon Park* in Roxbury, over the course of two consecutive weekends.
We are honored to welcome Ashton Lites as our Dance Court Design Lead and Sasha Coleman in partnership with Comfort Kitchen as our Public Kitchen Design Leads. These community gatherings will include music, dance, and food from a variety of cultures and genres. There will also be opportunities for YOU to lead your own workshops.
MORE DETAILS COMING SOON! We can't wait to share time, space and a meal with you…
