Partnering with Ruth Williams Opera House, PUSH builds upon their successful grand opening of their BIPOC Sanctuary in an event filled with networking, a live music and dance performance, and a chance to view test runs of new technology and dance science. In the dance performance, Simpson will demonstrate what happens when humans and tech collide in harmony and chaos by debuting the world premiere of Performable Posthumanism. Suggested donation tickets start at $20 with a special symposium with technologists and artists to start the event.


The symposium & performance is a Black culture driven experience empowering Black creatives, technologists and artists to amplify the stories in San Francisco’s “Big Tech” climate. Black leaders in the field of dance, robotics and artificial intelligence take the centerstage in order to perform demonstrations of their work alongside providing their inspirational stories in a field where Black/African American individuals makeup only 7% of tech jobs according to Zippia.
