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.
