ALTARS, The Live Experience

With an aim to battle the “danger of a single story,” we strive for ALTARS, The Live Experience to contribute nuanced, compelling, and deeply personal perspectives as we reimagine the future, while acknowledging and honoring the past.

We are thrilled to feature exceptional Boston-based artists, including Krump champion and Season 6 winner of "So You Think You Can Dance” Russell Gutta Fergusson, Boston Ballet dancer and US Presidential Scholar in the Arts My’Kal Stromile, Boston’s first Youth Poet Laureate Alondra Bobadilla, GRAMMY-Nominated multi-instrumentalist Phillip Young, and Brazilian dance ensemble SambaViva. We will also screen Mariona Lloreta's short film ALTARS, followed by a Q&A with the evening's performers and short film cast.

Program will be followed by a reception with food by Palestinian Chef Abdulla Awad of Yafa Cafe, Mexican-owned Travelmug Cafe, and non-alcoholic drinks by Curious Elixirs. Ashton Lites will wrap the event with an energizing DJ set.
