Come share your truth with us... “the truth is i am you” opens this Saturday, September 24, from 1-3pm! This installation invites the audience to complete the prompt “the truth is...” on large balloons that float throughout the gallery space. The personal truths written on the balloons will become part of the collective experience. A vibrant speech bubble bench (pictured above) titled, “Josephine and Kazumi (Real Red)”, is installed at NXTHVN’s facade, inviting visitors to rest, contemplate and reflect.
