Expect:
✨ “Bad” Stripping
✨ “Good” Stripping
✨ Traditional Stripping
✨ And performances that will forever expand your idea of what stripping can be.
From hilarious to heartfelt, raw to radiant — Bad Stripping is here to entertain, enlighten, and empower.

HOT WILD ALIVE
by Juliana Morgan Alvarez
Opening Reception
May 29th, 6-9pm
A culmination of Alvarez's year of residency with The Forge Nashville, techniques she learned through her fellowship with Buchanan Arts Nashville, and research she started while doing her writing fellowship with The Porch and Oz Arts.
This show is a tactile experiment investigating her own family’s migratory lineage, mass immigration from Romania to the US during the previous turn of the century, wind and ocean currents, quantum mechanics, long-distance travel by seabirds, and exploring how past experiences endure in physical form.
Free to the public

We're excited to share that Alie is an official Ambassador for @NashvilleDesignWeek 2025!
Design doesn’t belong to one discipline, one story, or one definition. As an ambassador, she’ll be helping spotlight the designers and creatives pushing the boundaries of what design means in Nashville today. So, how do you define design?
