Vector Festival 2024: too fragile to hold, curated by Miriam Arbus, explores the combined experiences of migrating species, weather patterns, geopolitical scrambling, and algorithmic data processing, reminding us that all is cosmic, symbiotic, interconnected, intersected, and intertwined. As we grasp at urgent inequities and the world’s paradoxical trajectory amidst rigid systems, a precautious, hopeful path is driven by new technology at a relentless pace where digital products promise solutions.
Through a hybrid online and in-person program of exhibitions, performances, gatherings, and workshops, this 10-day festival invites artists and audiences to come together into embodied experiences where mutualisms might flourish and simultaneity resounds, as we ask: will we follow the birds when the weather changes?
