Consume To Destroy
A solo performance by Heloisa Escudero
Sunday, November 9, 4 - 5:30 pm
Free
​​​
Confront your fears and phobias through art with Heloisa Escudero's solo performance Consume To Destroy. In this performance art, Heloisa reverses the process of what phobias do to an individual which is consume their energy. Instead, each participant symbolically destroys their phobias, fears, and/or anxieties by eating a delicious gluten-free vegan rice ball on a wooden skewer and then the skewer is turned into a sculpture.
This performance will take place in the Athenaeum's outdoor courtyard.
