The UN-[TITLED] Project

UN-[TITLED] is an immersive, multisite-specific project that centers on the ways in which communities are displaced by development, displacement, and gentrification. Guests are guided through a series of engagements and reckonings with community meaning, cultural memory, and healing in the Central and Chinatown-International Districts of Seattle.

As a series of offerings and invitations created in collaboration with theater and community artists and architects, UN-[TITLED] is an immersive, multisite-specific project that centers on the ways in which communities are displaced by gentrification. Guests are guided through a series of engagements and reckonings with community meaning, cultural memory, and healing in the Central and Chinatown-International Districts of Seattle. Participants (artists included) are asked to locate themselves within the patterns of gentrification, locate home in themselves, and to naturalize through Right Relationship. It asks for a demonstration of responsibility to the land, air, and water, and to actively center marginalized folx, memories, and stories through art, sound, movement, performance, ritual, and community.

The UN-[TITLED] Project takes place at multiple locations in different neighborhoods. Shuttles will be provided between locations, departing from theNova High School parking lot at 6:45pm (for 7pm shows) and 1:45pm (for 2pm shows). The performance lasts approximately two hours.

Accessibility: UN-[TITLED] includes periods of standing and walking, with limited opportunities to sit. Due to ADA limitations at the presenting sites, the performance is not accessible for guests in wheelchairs. UN-[TITLED] may not be suitable for guests under 18 years old.
