Maggie Cocco's Science for Sociopaths

Join multidisciplinary artist Maggie Cocco for an experimental and improvisatory evening at The Button Factory. This intimate, one-night-only event will feature a collaboration with a special guest artist (TBA), blending live, original, emotionally charged music with a hands-on communal art project.

Together, without speaking, participants will explore and "discuss" things often left unsaid. The resultant art piece, "conversation," will be featured at a future Science for Sociopaths Art Exhibition.
