This lively series of conversations and demonstrations among artists, engineers, scientists, critics, thought leaders, and creative technologists is an opportunity for our community to engage in public debate as we think aloud together about the promise and peril of our rapidly changing world. These gatherings amplify the dialogue surrounding our artists’ output, offering deeper reflection, discussion, and engagement with ideas and community that extend far beyond the performance space.

Collaboration as Resistance

Co-Produced with ¡Oye! Group

MAX has joined forces with ¡Oye! Group to present pertinent conversations both tied to the pieces of our 2025-26 Season and the world around us. Each Salon will feature conversations from artists, scientists, and creative technologists, while being moderated by renowned contemporaries.
