In conjunction with the Alchemy exhibition, join us for a performance by Miatta Kawinzi  that will use language, movement, and live/recorded sound to explore different kinds of power. Kawinzi will use sound as a force within space to alchemize hardness into softness, giving particular resonance to this transformation in this moment of ongoing societal discord.
