Imagine this: Four worlds collide following a cosmic event 25 years ago. All inhabitants lose their memories, leading to the disappearances of four women.
What sounds like the premise of a sci-fi novel is actually the foundation of art collective Meow Wolf’s third permanent immersive experience in Denver, “Convergence Station.” But it will offer an otherworldly escape.
When the exhibition opens September 17, visitors will become part of the story, exploring the four worlds kaleidoscopic cathedrals, Corinthian catacombs, lush alien habitats and dazzling but gritty cityscapes to investigate what happened.

July 9 through August 29 Opening Reception: Friday, July 9, 6:30 to 9 p.m. Artists Noah Breuer, Alexandra Knox and Manda Remmen all look at the issues lurking behind capitalism labor, ownership and consumerism from different points of view. Breuer delves into family members lost in the Holocaust who ran a textile-printing business, Carl Breuer and Sons, until Nazis took it away from them in 1939 through the reproduction of textile designs from the C, B & S archives; Knox addresses the hardships of child-rearing with “Stockpile,” a sculpture of plaster milk bags, and “PunchCard,” a series mimicking time cards punched for the labor of caring for a newborn; and Remmen uses rearrangeable house-paint color chips named in fancy script to cast shade on the ridiculous commercial names of said colors.

En una otra vida, I used to play roller derby (not very well). I still follow along, though - it is 100% my favorite sport. During the World Cup (yes that s a thing), I always support Team Indigenous and Team Mexico. Locally, well - there s no shortage of amazing teams here in Colorado (it s almost ridiculous how many amazing teams we have). Denver Roller Derby, aka DRD, is, in fact, ranked #4 in the world (the. world.). When I saw my guest this week was transferring from Team Mexico to DRD, well. I almost decided to lace my skates back up to even watch her practice from the sides (still might if we can ever play derby again!).
