Join interdisciplinary environmental artist Sarah Cameron Sunde (NYC) for an open-ended experiment in meandering along the Mississippi River.
Time: Saturday 4:30pm-6:30pm directly after Artist Talk
Suggested Donation: $10
Responding directly to Sam Hamilton’s exhibition at The Luminary, To Avoid Drowning, Become The Ocean, Sarah will facilitate a collective performance along the Mississippi River through a sequence of creative and environmental prompts, observations, and inquiries. Together, participants will engage the river, the city, and the more-than-human world as collaborators in a temporary work of attention.
Location & Accessibility: Meet at The Luminary to carpool to Gateway Arch National Park. We will return to The Luminary by approximately 6:30 PM. We will be parking in the Quik Park Garage.
Gateway Arch National Park is wheelchair accessible, with paved pathways and accessible restrooms available on site. If you have specific accessibility needs or accommodation requests, please contact us in advance so we can best support your participation.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water, sunscreen, a hat, or other sun protection as needed.
