Secret Garden

Travel across space and time and immerse yourself in this fitting reminder that sharing and receiving stories is in fact an act of resistance.

MAXlive 2021: The Neuroverse is made possible by the support of Science Sandbox, an initiative of the Simons Foundation, MAX’s generous donors, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Special Thanks to The Office, Integrated Media and Design Department, NYU and Paul Weiss.

Generations of black women who have survived slave boats, grown up on 1920s Black-owned farms, lived through 9/11, and more are all waiting for you in Stephanie Dinkins’ AI-powered garden. After a critically acclaimed run at the Sundance Festival, this immersive work, is returning to NYC in a new VR installation that you can’t miss out on.
