Learn more about our collaborators here! This immersive and one-of-a-kind event showcases aerialists and performers suspended in air, flying through the rotunda, and interacting with the architecture and large scale projections, transforming these symbols into new, more inclusive narratives that more accurately reflect San Francisco's diverse and dynamic cultures and community. 


Funding provided by a Hewlett 50 Arts Commission, with additional support from the California Arts Council, San Francisco Arts Commission, Grants for the Arts, Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, Bernard Osher Foundation, Fleishhacker Foundation, and our generous community of individual donors.
