About Performing Community:
July 6–28, SOMArts Cultural Center invites you to explore the diverse communities, thriving creative pockets, and hidden histories of SOMA through the gallery exhibition and events accompanying Performing Community. New projects by exhibiting artists Susan Greene, Marlon Sagana Ingram (MSI), Kitsch House, Mobile Arts Platform (MAP) and Network of Daily Experience (NODE) present the various histories of SOMA and invite community contributions to ever-developing narratives through interactive installations and creative projects which answer the question: how is community built and practiced?
