GATHER: A series of monuments and rituals
From May 14–July 3, Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya’s participatory installations take over the outdoor spaces of Lincoln Center, filling the campus with color, light, dimension, and heart. Facing the tremendous loss of life and social isolation of COVID-19, alarming coverage of geopolitical conflict, and generational harm wrought by systemic racism, hate crimes, and climate change, many of us are tapped out. More now than ever, art can remind us of our humanity, heal wounds, and bridge divides. Grounded in healing rituals from her Southeast Asian heritage, Phingbodhipakkiya invokes emotions of grief, hope, catharsis, joy, and connection in four moving installations. Visitors will reclaim space, foster belonging, and express their truth—finding a path forward.
The installations will be open to the public all day, but we hope you’ll also join artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya when she hosts scheduled interactive events each week. Please see the times and dates below.
