Beginning May 22, Boston will showcase a series of free art installations and performances costing $8 million, featuring over a dozen artists. The projects will tackle profound themes such as Indigenous experiences, trauma, healing, and social justice through site-specific works across various neighborhoods. Notable contributions include a fairy-tale house exploring trauma at the Boston Public Library and a reinterpretation of a totem pole in bronze by Nicholas Galanin. The initiative aims to inspire new perspectives on community and our relationship with nature.
Cortez's Nomad 2, sited at the Charlestown Navy Yard, is a 12-ft-tall welded-steel whale vertebra with an interactive chamber, conceived during a trip to the Arctic, where she faced the stark reality of environmental devastation.
The artists in the triennial invite viewers to imagine new ways of understanding the world. 'It's important for us to imagine the world without us destroying it,' asserts a San Salvador-born sculptor.
