// bridge piece \\
is a series of movement events for grieving and healing bodies. Each event occurs at or near dusk between the winter and summer solstices, marking moments in time that feel in-between. Each // bridge piece \\ is framed as an offering lending space to honor the slowness and softness of healing, a process that can feel both wondrous and incomplete. 

Participatory and performance events are planned for December 2024 - June 2025.

// bridge piece \\ is a project by multidisciplinary Jersey City artist Meagan Woods, co-produced by SMUSH Gallery. It is supported by public funds from the Jersey City Arts and Culture Trust Fund.
