ANCHOR PROJECTS
Three innovative arts experiences to educate and inspire action.
Rising Seas
A series of four events that combine traditional global music with site-responsive theater and immersive dance to increase climate awareness and engage audiences with the impact of rising seas. Rising Seas will utilize the arts to inspire the community to become part of a city wide effort to reduce climate change, engage people in imagining a better future, and provide a sense of hope through community dialogue and action.

Somewhere to Land
Somewhere to Land was a unique, site-specific performance presented in collaboration with world-renowned vertical dance company BANDALOOP and West End Arts District. Performed on September 26, 27, and 28th, the performance lifted up the sustainability goals of Alameda's visionary De-Pave Park and invited attendees into a personal inquiry of these decaying military structures and resilient wetlands, a place where birds and humans might meet in steadily rising tidal rhythms.
Somewhere to Land featured an original live musical score by Bay Area luminaries, Destani Wolf and Ben Juodvalkis.

In Plain Site
In Plain Site is a curated, climate-themed photography exhibit presented by Radium Presents and West End Arts District in partnership with Photoville, a national non-profit organization that activates public spaces and addresses important issues through the lens of photography. Presented within and around the Radium Runway venue in Alameda, the project also features a speaker series with artists as well as climate and sustainability experts.
