Tell us about your BCA artist residency project.

This project is an immersive art-dance installation that takes the viewer on a visceral experience of empathy, and hope. Inspired by the pipeline protests at Standing Rock and the lead-water crisis in Flint, Michigan, Hot Water Over Raised Fists aims to stimulate audiences to think about our participation in a global community.
