Mobius Artists Group presents Mobius Live: Outside/Inside, a one-night screening of performance-video works curated by Serena Gabriels and EL Putnam to be screened at the Civic Pavilion in Boston, MA on September 17, 2025.
This screening explores how performance is viewed through the gaze of a camera, placing it inside the frame: frames of moments, moments transforming frames. The exhibiting artists take on the idea of outside and inside perspectives: introspection, reflection, observation, or contrasting outlooks.
Please join us in this exploration of self and the world around us. All are welcome whether it be viewing outside or inside the venue.
