The second part of the trip is site-visit oriented to explore spaces for a potential immersive projects in 2025/26. In this immersive experience, we will have a room or section entitled Embarqued, centered around voyage, textile and tactile audience interactions. This site-based iteration will be housed within a larger work that Company SBB hopes to tour in forthcoming seasons.
