The Project
Akshata Naik’s interactive project "Bloody Boats" will fill the Art Bar with hundreds of red paper boats, symbolizing geographical displacement and migration. Over the night, the installation will grow, as visitors are able to contribute boats and stories. Tanya White’s ethereal "lanugo weaves 1 and 2," made of horsehair and invisible yarns, will fill the space with a ghostly presence.
