Ecology meets style in this singular evening of ideas, couture and soulful grooves. A discussion with two top "green architects" precedes a cutting-edge, international fashion show spotlighting some of today's most fiercely inventive, environmentally conscious designers. Then enjoy some truly earth-shattering music: former Rage Against the Machine vocalist Zack De La Rocha emerges for a one-of-a-kind performance with Son De Madera, the acclaimed son jarocho ensemble from Veracruz, Mexico. Quetzal opens with their inimitable brand of impassioned, neo-traditionalist Chicano music.
Throughout the series, video DJs Mekanix and the DJs of Dublab will be on deck mixing sound and image – synthesizing the ideas and creativity of First Fridays. Emcee Mark Torres will preside over each evening's proceedings.
First Fridays is a discussion and performance series that elaborates on the issues raised by our COLLAPSE? exhibit. Tickets include admission to the exhibit.
