Artist Sebastian Hernandez (HYPANTHIUM, REDCAT) debuts Pistil – a new experimental work commissioned by NAVEL refracting the mythology around 1959’s Cooper’s Donuts riot. A group of performers embody complex and ever-evolving legacies in the fight to exist, parsing decades of sociocultural shift to ask: where are we now?

With Nikolay Karamyan, Miguel Reyna and Chen Di Xuan.
