UPCOMING EVENTS
This calendar has all the details of upcoming Mobius events (like the Spring 2024 edition of our favorite high speed performance art event 1-Minute Solos, curated by Jimena Bermejo) as well as events that members of our group are involved in outside of Mobius.
The calendar also serves as a history of our group’s live and online activities since the Covid pandemic began, including our Spiderweb series of artist talks by emerging and mid-career artists from the New England area.
You can view a video archive of many past Mobius events, and the entire Spiderweb series here.
