Across ten channels of video, bodies move through damaged landscapes and urban environments around the world, exploring how we encounter, inhabit, and impact the places around us.

Join us for an unforgettable opening night, featuring live music by @richallmusic from @txstatemusic and a performance by @wecreate.productions and @txsttdf.
