“The project approaches collapse not as failure, but as a generative condition for artistic and collective invention.”

Unworlding, NYC is a site for conversation, collapse, collision, creation, and community—a series of public dialogues bringing together artists and writers to reimagine structures and relationships amid social and institutional breakdown.
Envisioned and actualized by BAM Curator and Artist-in-Residence Helga Davis, Unworlding, NYC is a new series of transdisciplinary experiences that speak to the moment we all are living in. Rooted in conversation and community, the series brings together artists and writers across disciplines to find connection amid a changing world.
A multifaceted singer, actress, composer, and communicator, Helga has appeared on the most prestigious international stages, while maintaining firm roots in the realities and concerns of her local community. She has been performing at BAM for over two decades, including appearances in six Next Wave collaborations with Robert Wilson, Toshi Reagon and Bernice Johnson Reagon, Philip Glass, Craig Harris and Sekou Sundiata, Carl Hancock Rux, Maya Beiser, and Shara Nova.
