    Altar No. 3: I Choose to Remember Us Whole: Community Processional

    The Henry and Meany Center for the Performing Arts invite you to join us for an interactive and contemplative journey through five altars created by Seattle-based collaborators, in response to the core theme of Daniel Alexander Jones's project, Altar No. 3: I Choose To Remember Us Whole, currently on view at the Henry.

    What would it feel like to remember and to be remembered as whole beings? What would change? What would enable wholeness? And what can we do to embrace as whole what now seems irrevocably torn asunder?

    The processional experience will begin and end at the Henry, and will be led by UW Department of Dance faculty Juliet McMains and Diana Garcia-Snyder, students, and community activators. The full route is about 2.5 miles long and expected to take approximately 2.5 hours to walk. The program will conclude with a celebration at the Meany Center for the Performing Arts. We invite you to wear shades of gold, red, orange and yellow — inspired by the sun.
