To be human is to continuously search for truth and for belonging. Our Information Age algorithms bombard us with claims of different truths and pathways to belonging based on the truths we choose to claim. Insulated perspectives invite us to feel a sense of kinship, while steadily distorting even those truths that at one point seemed self-evident.
Who do we trust and how do we know that we can trust them? What do we do to feel like ourselves and to connect with something greater than ourselves? Is someone watching us? Are birds real?
Join us for a concert that explores surveillance, truth, belonging, and birds!
