About this Event
Tidal Mirror is presented as part of the 29th Annual National Queer Arts Festival, produced by the Queer Cultural Center.
Tidal Mirror is an immersive, day-to-evening event where QTBIPOC noise & sound artists, visual creators, installation artists, and performers collaborate to transform the venue into a living altar of Queer Trans Futurism.
Through interactive installations, live soundscapes, and prompts anchored in water—a medium for confronting and reimagining the self—we invite participants to engage with their reflections literally (in fountains, distorted mirrors) and metaphorically (through collective visioning).
Accessiblity Info: One flight of steps into the building and another flight of steps inside to get to the mezzanine.
