P.6 Artist Deborah Jack, in partnership with UNO St. Claude Gallery and the Diaphanous Ensemble, invites audiences to contemplate how sound and poetry meld to create our collective memories of home. Jack will lead visitors through an immersive, aural experience of her six-channel video installation accompanied by the experimental, string-forward collective, Diaphanous Ensemble.
