We hope you’ll join us for one or more creative activations at Woven Intersections. This exhibition features Ascend, a site-specific rope, wood, and concrete sculptural installation by Teague McDaniel (they/them). Each event in this series is a unique site activation that engages with our ability to feel, perceive, or experience things subjectively—especially as it pertains to our geographic location in this moment in time.
