Current Exhibition

The Whispering: Screen Performance Exhibition

Curated by Heather Sincavage, MFA
Sep 16 - Oct 8, 2025

Echoes carried on fragile feathers.

The Whispering is an invitation to dwell within the spaces between sound and silence, light and shadow, presence and absence. This exhibition gathers a constellation of performance videos that move delicately along these thresholds, where gestures dissolve into breath, and stories are murmured rather than told.
