The project
Meteoric was a free, three-day public arts and film festival in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. After a year of conversations among artists and residents, its first edition in 2019 brought screenings, workshops, installations, performances, public forums, facilitated conversations, and shared meals into venues across town.
Festival notes
Truth or Consequences took shape as three connected parts: a feature film, a local festival, and a bespoke virtual cinematography tool. Meteoric was the festival. Hannah Jayanti and I developed it with collaborators in town through a year of conversations among artists and residents.

The festival treated hospitality as part of its form
Hospitality
Forums, facilitated conversations, and shared meals treated attention and hospitality as part of the program.
