September Events at Eustis Estate, 1424 Canton Ave., Milton

Mobius Artist Group Presents: Accumulation + Migration

Saturday, Sept. 14, 1:00-4:00 pm

Join us for an afternoon of art and performance at the Eustis Estate, where the theme of Accumulation + Migration will be brought to life through visual explorations. Mobius' series of unique performances invite you to reflect on the profound impacts of climate change on both humanity and the natural world. Performers will engage in building a sculpture while simultaneously creating dynamic traveling movements, seamlessly blending art and action to evoke a powerful narrative. Two musical sets bookending the performances with evocative soundscapes complement the visual and movement pieces.
