BAPTISM (RE)IMAGINED: The Sea Came Up and Drowned
August 21 & 22, 2026 @ Tinworks Art

Remember our confusion will reach new heights of sophistication
We lurch forward from error to discovery to error.

The departed are numerous
the fossil record will tell what happened here
if not
it didn't happen
