Immediately following the 2024 US Presidential election, MOCA and orchestral collective Wild Up (founded 2010 in Los Angeles) will create a hub to investigate democratic and cooperative practices during this pivotal moment of political change. Over three days, we will explore creativity, justice, determination, and liberation through a series of musical happenings and social assemblages. Projects will invite active engagement, with open rehearsals and porous boundaries between performers and audiences. The event offers space to contemplate how civic institutions, like museums and orchestras, can reinvigorate the promise of democracy through the lenses of creation and participation.
The three-day happening begins with a Friday evening concert followed by daytime events across the weekend.
