Bees are the unseen architects of our agriculture, yet they also serve as the canary in the coal mine for climate change. Their movements signal the first shifts in an ecosystem under stress—shifts that will ultimately shape our own future.
Witness the delicate and powerful quintet as they navigate an interactive motion sculpture, embodying the rhythms of evolution, adaptation, and survival - a breathtaking fusion of movement and sculpture, set against the backdrop of a Berkeley garden studio.
Cross-Pollination premiered at the California Academy of Sciences in October 2023 while Jodi Lomask was an Osher Fellow in Residence. The music was composed by Snow Raven. It is being restaged for performances in Lomask’s Garden Studio in Berkeley, California and Joshua Tree. It will be performed by Fabiana Santiago, Anna Gichan, Emily Hansel, Caitlin Hicks, and Jodi Lomask.
Cross-Pollination was created and presented with the generous support of the New England Foundation for the Arts, the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the California Arts Council, the California Academy of Sciences, The Bernard Osher Foundation, the SF Art Commission, Unlikely Collaborators, the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, the City of Berkeley, and the Capacitor Board of Directors.
