Luis Lara Malvacías’s new work brings together movement, text, and projections to examine darkness through a contemporary lens.

Sakura Shimada’s A letter to Steve, and all the small things matter is about her habit of constantly raising questions. The power of being ordinary and the basic practice of moving attention.
