NIGHT/SHIFT: Second Nature

Thursday, May 15 | 5–9 pm

Our sense of place shapes our identities and ideologies. Habitats inform our habits. Night/Shift: Second Nature charts a scenic route through places real, imagined, and simulated — carrying us through expanses of space and time with a motley crew of fellow travelers.

Your itinerary is wide-ranging. Aim for the heartland and discover midwestern mythologies and American constructs of community. Consider contested sites. Go off road to explore conservation and rewilding efforts. Peer into the hyperlocal and what it means for the global.

Next stop: Night/Shift.
