A Gallery Sculpture + Feature Documentary (109 mins),
re: Americans will always remember the seven days
including and following the 2020 Election.
A pandemic, record voter turnout, days of waiting, a
46th President-elect, an historic Vice President-Elect,
and the development of a vaccine in record time.
If this was not one of the most unpredictable and
nebulous moments in American history, then it certainly
ranks in the top tier.
Some, including the 45th President/47th President-Elect,
Donald Trump, doubt the results of the 2020 election;
others call foul on the timing of the Pfizer-BioNTech
vaccine announcement. More feel our very democracy was at,
or continues to be at stake.
If for nothing else, this time will be remembered as a
test of our patience and flexibility.
This Zoom series was made over seven days and nights
beginning Election Night, November 3 2020, and ending on
November 10 2020, the day following the Pfizer-BioNTech
vaccine announcement.
35 cameras in homes all over the world recorded as
these individuals watched an ABC News livestream, Kamala
Harris’s unprecedented victory speech, and the breaking
news of a remarkably effective vaccine for COVID-19, the
novel coronavirus.

. And here you’ll find information regarding The Opera x Metamorphoses presents: New Haven, 2018. A very different take on “opera,” this inaugural OxM production was a devised theatre piece that was awarded a Yale College Arts Discretionary Grant. In april of that year, it was performed by collaborating New Haven based Queer Professional Dancers, Yale University Students, and other Local Professional Artists at Yale’s Off-Broadway Theater. The Opera x Metamorphoses is an opera company founded with the goal of bridging communities. Conceived in the mountains of Sitka, Alaska, OxM was originally envisioned by Rocky Bostick during the august 2017 iteration of the Uncommon Music Festival. Conceptually and in practice, OxM is committed to diversity, and to showcasing stories, people, and sounds traditionally underrepresented in classical music.
