Learning to Trust the Unknown

A public exhibition designed by six participants who completed MINCA’s eight-week Experimental Making Lab, an expression of what they felt, discovered and became along the way.

What does it mean to step into the unknown, and trust it? This exhibition was our way of finding out, together and in real time. We began with only a loose structure, leaving deliberate space for live improvisation and the unexpected. The audience didn’t simply watch, they joined us, moving and creating their way into the unknown alongside us.

The evening wove together live painting, improvised dance, readings, film, and that unnameable something that only appears when you let go of the plan.

Moments from Learning to Trust the Unknown

In their words

From the group

What unfolded each Saturday was just so eye-opening to me as a human and as an artist.

I will take away a deep sense of belonging with my cohort and an appreciation for all the joy that can be found by diving into uncertainty.

It’s been a safe and curious space for me to lean into the unexpected.

The Online Making Lab brings MINCA’s creative practices home: simple prompts that invite play, curiosity and self-expression. No artistic experience needed. Leave your email and I’ll tell you when it opens.
