Join us as we leave the workday far behind and meander among the blooms of the Kelleher Rose Garden and pathways of an eclectic and historic Victory Garden and immerse ourselves in artist Fujiko Nakaya’s “Fog x Canopy” installation. A stroll for the senses!

Designed and produced by artists Andy Graydon and Isabel Beavers, Accomplices is a series of six printed postcards that invite visitors themselves to perform small micro-compositions on each site in response to and collaboration with each of Nakaya’s sculptures. One card is available at each location of Nakaya’s sculptures, as well as at the Emerald Necklace Conservancy's Shattuck Visitor Center, and is designed specifically for that park site and sculpture.
A sound and dance performance by composer Mattia C. Maurée, Wayfinder observes how many cultures learned from nature to navigate by starlight. Movement evolves as one journeying performer (violin/voice/dance) chances upon another (bells/voice/dance), reaching out in the natural world trying to find their way. Finding themselves connected by a thread, they find their way, connection, and some kind of peace.
In Beau Kenyon's the SOUND (if trees were water), dancers will be costumed in sculptural, sound-emitting pieces as they move around and through the audience, enveloping them in the spoken words of teenage immigrants woven together with an original sound score and under a blanket of Nakaya's ethereal fog sculpture.
