These video vignettes will be presented with: Live Music by Tom Pearo, Bob Wagner, Josh Weinstein, and other talented artists.
Community Storytelling featuring voices such as Kerubo, Mae Nagusky, and Kenroy Walker.
Audience Interaction through call‐and‐response, harmonized singing, and interactive projections. VIGNETTES OF VEILED LIGHT is a love letter to Burlington, celebrating how light and shadow shape our understanding of the world—and how a single natural phenomenon brought thousands of people together. During the 2024 eclipse, nearly twenty cameras were distributed citywide
