Join us in welcoming two trees in residence at MASS MoCA as part of Amanda Lovelee’s immersive, outdoor installation Homecoming – and together we will cheer on their resilience! All ages are welcome, with kid friendly art-making and performances by regional marching bands.

Amanda Lovelee creates immersive artworks around the U.S. to influence government at the local and national levels with a focus on climate justice. Her newest commission Homecoming at MASS MoCA is an immersive outdoor installation designed to remember a deeper connection between humans and nature, while playfully addressing the urgency of climate change that is causing plants to migrate.

The project envisions MASS MoCA as a symbolic micro field station for two trees-in-residence participating in assisted plant migration – a technology used to introduce trees to new ways of surviving and thriving in a warming climate. Central to this installation are custom-designed bleachers to watch two trees grow and witness the time scale shifts of more-than-human beings. Learn more.
