Lit Up: Traditional Artists on Public Walls

Projections of TMY dancers and folk artists writ-large on public walls at night.

Fridays in October | Dusk-10pm

Video projections of traditional dancers and manual artists doing what they do best: moving and making. The precise and sinuous movements of Japanese traditional dancers, the athletic leaps and twirls of Polish folk dancing, the steady delicate hand of a Henna artist, and more writ-large on public walls around Tucson.
