Instagram, ✨ Experience the *world premiere* of the operatic performance, “Te Moana Meridian: How the Prime Meridian Shapes the World, and the Case for Relocating It,” a new experimental opera based on a proposal to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution to formally relocate the international Prime Meridian to the South Pacific Ocean.
Created and directed by artist @Sam.Tam.Ham (Sam Hamilton), the opera features two principal vocalists singing the written text by the artist of the proposal made to the UN, mirroring each other in their receptive languages: @Holland.Andrews in English and @MereTokorahi Boynton in Māori. Also featuring minimalist movement by artist @sidony_oneal and an intergenerational choir directed by @CrystalAkinsMeneses.
🤝 In partnership with @picapdx’s TBA Festival and @boomartspdx.

Instagram, 👈 Swipe for a close-up of Rodin.
Throughout much of his career, Auguste Rodin faithfully represented the effect of age upon the body. In this sculpture of an old, nude woman sitting on a rock with her head lowered, the artist’s keen sense of observation is evident. The figure’s sagging, wrinkled flesh challenged the era’s conventional standards of beauty in art.
