When

7:30 – 8:30 p.m., April 10, 2026

Please join us for Inheriting the Void, a performance-installation and video essay by artist and adjunct professor at the School of Art, University of Arizona, Geneva Foster Gluck, PhD. 
 

Come witness a speculative interaction between a bear and a ventriloquist that asks: On whose behalf do we speak? What is the relationship between memory and knowledge? And who or what speaks through our actions?
Loosely based on Geneva's experience caring for her mother during her mother's rapid onset of dementia, as well as larger themes of the climate crisis and mental health, Inheriting the Void invites audiences to scan a QR code and listen on their phones (with headphones) to an audiovisual story while standing at the base of Tumamoc Hill.


•The video essay is approximately 15 minutes. Arrive any time between 7:30–8:15pm. Please bring a charged smartphone and headphones to access the video essay. Created by artist and educator Geneva Foster Gluck. This work was made possible by a MOCA Tucson Night Bloom Award and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. More information can be found here.
