The Banquet is a site-specific installation and day-long acitvation series that took place on April 22, 2023 (Earth Day) at The Horseroom Gallery in Worcester, MA, produced in collaboration with curator Maya Rubio. Gallery-goers were encouraged to participate in group performance actions, trace the creatures they find in the wood-grain of the walls, and enjoy snacks provided by the artists.


“She still hadn’t freed herself of the desire-force-miracle… The formula was repeated time and again: feeling the thing without possessing it.”¹

The burden of proof is on me.²

“And suddenly, satisfied, she resumed eating.”¹
