Artist Fayen d’Evie presents Holding (2024), an access-led performance tour in response to Simulaa’s work Strata Signals. The tour implicates audiences through the purposeful handling of geological samples and human-fabricated material, raising questions about who and what is holding Earth through epochal change.
