Join us Friday, September 12, at 5 pm, for The Earthling Parade led by artist Yvette Molina. Together, we will process in a sacred and raucous celebration of being alive on this earth!

Wear colorful, celebratory costumes, capes, flower crowns, or anything that makes you feel alive, and bring wands, banners, or other items to carry. Not sure where to start? Consider dressing like your favorite creature or one of the elements, or just come as your very own self in your everyday clothes to simply be in community with your fellow earthlings!

The Earthling Parade marks the close of the two-year evolving exhibition Yvette Molina: A Promise to the Leaves, which is foregrounded by the four elements, the cosmos, and all creatures of earth. It encourages us to consider care as entangled within circles of life—care for one another, whether human or non-human, is care for ourselves and all.

The parade departs from Skidmore’s Arts Quad and will process on paved pathways, ending at the Tang Museum at 6 pm. A map of the parade route will be posted on this page in advance of the event.

This event is free and open to the public.
