About the event
Tickets-$5 to $50 Pay what you can White Room is an interdisciplinary performance-installation in which the audience's presence actively shapes the experience. As the audience moves through the arranged objects, they become a dynamic part of the installation, directly confronting the central themes of power and control. This journey invites a personal reflection on the nature of individual influence, or lack thereof, within societal systems. The installation functions as a microcosm of society, revealing how individual choices and actions can either uphold or resist dominant narratives and power dynamics. This project seeks to illuminate how people often unconsciously consent to the narratives of the ruling class, thereby relinquishing control over their perspectives and viewpoints. The goal is to heighten awareness of these dynamics and inspire active engagement in dismantling the status quo. About the Artist
