PERFORMANCE PARTY 

In deference to the powers of the woods — from the maenads to the green knight to Gran Bwa — performers touch on the unruly nature of the wilderness to seed, build and dance with creatures real and unreal.  Sunset will set off a series of performances including circus, burlesque, installation art and interactive acts from a lineup of Black Disabled artists including Saira Barbaric. The audience will be invited to play, respond, move and relax throughout an evening of investigation and catharsis. Grow Green Man refuses to hide the process of preparation, repair and mounting that precedes the gallery becoming a wonderland. Grow Green Man is a performance party from Saira Barbaric, hosted at the Olympic Sculpture Park’s Paccar Pavilion. Come early to hear DJs, enjoy refreshments and experience works from Barbaric’s 2022 show, Pantheon Anew. Sunset will set off a series of performances from a lineup of Black Disabled artists including Saira Barbaric. The night will wrap up with more dancing and drinks Come on out for an evening of sensual, playful, confronting work from a bevy of PNW favorites and new-to-us powerhouses.
