CANO celebrates the reopening of Crevasse 22
The Creative Alliance of New Orleans (CANO) is pleased to announce this season’s reopening of Crevasse 22 | River House with “Invisible Rivers” feat. the “Float Lab,” a collaboration of Mondo Bizarro and The Land Memory Bank & Seed Exchange.
“Invisible Rivers” featuring the Float Lab is a series comprised of exhibitions with educational performances.

Mondo Bizarro is building boats in rapidly disappearing areas of our coast and hosting dialogues and performances on them. “Invisible Rivers” physically models ideas about how we can live with fluctuation, uncertainty, and symbiosis in our increasingly watery world.
