About Chromatic Portals: A Celebration with Silvia López Chavez and Danza Orgánica
Join us for a special afternoon honoring artist Silvia López Chavez and her new outdoor installation, Chromatic Portals. This program will feature a dance performance by Danza Orgánica inspired by the artwork.
Set against deCordova’s unique landscape, this festive gathering invites visitors to engage with the vibrant colors, forms, and narratives that shape Chromatic Portals.
A light reception will take place after the performance.
