Show Don't Tell 2026: SENSORIUM

​SENSORIUM, day one of Culture Push’s 2026 Show Don’t Tell Symposium, invites attendees to play with their senses – namely sound, taste, and touch. Join us on Oct 15 for a place-based soundscape, a living, tactile dressing room, and a lovingly crafted food experience rooted in traditional practices.

​Alexis Harrison • Jazz:Community
Jazz:Community is a soundscape of Brooklyn's emotional space and a meditation on place.

​Haileigh Nelson • Taking New Shapes: Embodying Liberatory Futures in the Present
Taking New Shapes positions the installation as a living studio where garments operate as portals to memory and possibility. The installation invites audiences to rehearse gestures, postures, and ways of being aligned with the liberatory futures they imagine.

​Mai’yah Kau • Gursha: Communal Eating Lovers
To feed someone by hand is an act of love. Gursha builds a small ceremony around that gesture, honoring afro diasporic food traditions, queer intimacy, and the memories we carry to the table.

​Join us Thursday, October 15 through Saturday October 17, 6-9 PM at Library for Arts & Culture to engage with the work of our Fellows and Associated Artists through workshops and panels.

​This October at our ninth Show Don’t Tell symposium, Culture Push will bring together artists, activists, neighbors, dreamers for three days of conversations and experiences. Show Don’t Tell: A Symposium with The Fellowship for Utopian Practice is a yearly opportunity to get an up-close and participatory view into the projects of artists working at the intersection of their imaginations, social change, and civic participation.

​All events are free and open to the public.
