FRI/30-SUN/1: PIVOT FESTIVAL The 11th annual installment of this incredible boundary-pushing music festival has enlisted Andy Meyerson of the excellent Living Earth Show duo to curate-and boy is he bringing it. (If you haven't grokked Living Earth's terrific Roar Shack venue, hop to it, btw.) The weekend fills Herbst Theater with hyper-San Franciscan sounds, with performances by vocalist Tanner Porter, San Francisco Ballet dancer- choreographer Myles Thatcher, and Bay Area ensembles Bucket List (featuring composer-creator Mark Applebaum),

Join us on Thursday, January 29, 6-9 PM for the opening reception of Tabi Tabi Po: Come Out with the Spirits! You Are Welcome Here, featuring the work of renowned artist Cece Carpio. Through Indigenous oral traditions and narratives, both autobiographical and imagined, this landmark exhibition highlights the power and necessity of storytelling. As a cultural, political, and relational practice shared across cultures, storytelling brings attention to the sacred and often overlooked spaces essential to understanding how all things come to be.

Marie Watt's balance of technical precision and expansive vision melds in larger-than-life textile processes and multimedia explorations. Storywork centers stories from her Seneca Nation ancestry, pairing them with references to everything from Greco-Roman myth to Star Trek. The selection of narrative prints appears alongside a sculptural tin jingle cloud. Programming includes an October 2 performance by champion jingle dancer Acosia Red Elk and a campus native plant tour led by the Indigenous Traditional Ecological and Cultural Knowledge team on October 14.
