More than just a music fest, Pique is a multi-arts extravaganza 🎨
Pique’s 20th edition on June 13 at Arts Court includes installations that are contemplative, interactive, and subversive, featuring...
🏡 Home Beyond Borders 🏡
Curated by Danayit Zeru (
@eph.anart ), this multidisciplinary arts project explores the emotional, psychological, and personal dimensions of “home.” Rather than treating home as a fixed geographic location, the installation considers home to be an evolving and deeply subjective experience—shaped by memory, relationships, identity, and inner worlds.
Home Beyond Borders will also feature an artist talkback and curator tour, with more details to be announced soon!
☎️ The Telesymphonic Booth ☎️
Created by Eric Quach (
@thisquietarmy ), The Telesymphonic Booth is an interactive installation featuring two public payphones transformed into electroacoustic instruments. Visitors create evolving soundscapes using voice and touch-tone dialing, with keypad tones replaced by curated electronic sounds. Blending sound art and participation, the work turns a familiar device into a space for creativity, reflection, and shared listening.
🧹 Lesbian Community Service 🧹
The Arts Court staircase is due for a cleanup. Commemorating the lesbian community service that came before them, this trio of artists (
@washingmachine_art @aash.barbu @androgynousmuppet ) will be starting their hours during Pique #20...
