The Box

Information for Prospective Hosts

Welcome.

Thank you for your interest in hosting The Box. 

This page is intended to give you a deeper understanding of how the work functions, what is required to host it, and what makes this particular moment in its development so unique.

This version of The Box is the original prototype and is currently being carried by the artist, herself, during summer 2025.

If you feel aligned with the spirit of the work, you will find the next steps for hosting at the bottom of the page.

What Happens Inside

The Box is a poetic, audio-guided writing ritual housed in a minimalist object. Participants enter the space one at a time for a one-hour, contemplative experience that blends writing, movement, silence, and perception. As they engage with the Box, their relationship to a personal question or tension begins to shift, physically and metaphorically.

The Box is a tool for transformation, designed to be scalable and globally distributed. The version you are considering hosting is the original working prototype and will be carried by the artist, herself, during summer 2025.

What You Receive

  • A rare opportunity to host the original version of The Box with the artist present

  • A deep, meaningful experience for your community that blends art, introspection, and perception 

  • The chance to be part of a living work that is still unfolding — a project in active evolution

  • The potential to become a long-term partner in the next phase of distribution

Timeline Options

The Box can be hosted for 1 day or up to 7 consecutive days, depending on the nature of your event or venue, with 8-10 individual sessions per day, each lasting 1 hour.

  • 1-Day Intensive: All participants guided directly by the artist; includes closing integration talk

  • Multi-Day Hostings: The artist sets up and trains your on-site host; the artist returns at the end to facilitate the closing conversation

  • Optional additional artist involvement may also be discussed.

What You’ll Need to Host

Space:

  • A quiet, private room with minimal sensory noise to support the depth of presence and perception

  • Soft furnishings: Floor cushions, low seating, or a couch. Participants are encouraged to kneel, sit, lie down, and move around The Box

  • Adequate lighting for writing by hand

Volunteer/Staff:

  • Welcome participants and offer a brief orientation (script provided)

  • Ensure privacy during the sessions

  • Alternative option if no support staff/volunteer is available: Artist on-site, see above.

Pricing

Final pricing depends on length of event and level of artist involvement.

A sliding scale is available for smaller organizations, artist residencies, or values-aligned hosts.

This flexible model allows The Box to be adapted to festivals, pop-ups, institutions, artist residencies, and private spaces while honoring the time, energy, and artistry involved.

Apply to host The Box and, once fit is determined, pricing will be shared.

All hosting arrangements include:

  • Use of The Box installation for scheduled sessions

  • Artist-led setup and/or closing integration session

  • Orientation for your on-site host or staff

  • Invitation to be part of the Pilot Host Network — among the first to present this new work to the public

Where Hosting Fees Go

Hosting fees not only compensate the artist and cover direct expenses — they also support the ongoing development of The Box, including:

  • Creation of multilingual audio versions for wider accessibility

  • Scalable production and global distribution of future editions

  • Continued refinement and evolution of the experience

Your support ensures that future participants around the world can access this work in ways that are localized, resonant, and beautifully crafted.

Language Notes

The Box is currently recorded in English.

The Spanish version is under development.

If you would like to offer the experience in another language, this is possible with advance notice.

We can coordinate:

  • Professional translation of the prompts

  • Voice actor selection and audio recording

Additional costs will apply, and a longer lead time may be required depending on the language and voice talent.

Locations

The artist will be based in Spain during summer 2025 and is accepting proposals within Europe, June through September,

This is an artwork that travels by invitation. If you feel aligned, please share your details.
