Come gather where galaxy meets garden. A multi-sensorial experience of lifeways, ritual, music, and flora that combines creative technology and comfort to conjure an expansive world rooted in Indigenous Futurism and Queer/Trans joy. Through blended reality installation and emergent performance, Cosmic Bloom: Shape of Breath invites you to seed future universes, foster relations, and cultivate kinship. Let’s celebrate and illuminate balance in our beings.
Cosmic Bloom: Shape of Breath is part of the expansive universe of Galaxy Circle, created by Interdisciplinary artist and shapeshifter Ty Defoe. It combines multiple forms of media, performance and community experience. While this space can be experienced individually, there will be offerings throughout to find intentional points of connection.
Cosmic Bloom exposes the porous space between earth world and sky world, a dimension that transcends time in which you are immersed in Indigenous futurism - including:
- An interstellar multimedia cosmic garden filled with flowers, stars, and a community altar
- A courtyard of care filled with cozy places to rest, reflect and listen to cosmic stories through flower crowns
- Solo spaces to decompress or tap into VR portals
