Some Highlights:
Minimal Monument, a melting ice sculpture by Brazilian sculptor Nele Azevedo, will be placed by community members and passersby Burlington's City Hall Park on Saturday at 2pm. This iconic piece has been made in 22 cities around the world. Burlington is the first site for the work in the U.S. in part because of leadership as the first U.S. city to be powered entirely by renewable resources, and working toward net-zero energy.
A riddle-solving urban wilderness walk with site-specific performances by Pauline Jennings. Her exhibition Becoming Human is currently at the BCA.
Sunset ceremony and parade. A procession of the arts leading to the ceremony. Performances by Paula Higa and dancers, pastoral chorography by Nancy Winship Milliken. David Neiweem's church bell compositions will be heard at various churches and times over three feverish days, including during the parade and sunset ceremony. The sunset ceremony will feature members of the Missisquoi Abenaki Nation.
A "Tent City" of artist made structures on UVM's campus by regional and global artists, providing places of contemplation.
