media release: A transformative new performance, Text Messages From The Edge of Erasure, is set to debut in Madison, offering audiences an evocative blend of storytelling, poetry, and communal conversation. This unique event serves as both an artistic expression and a call to collective reflection, addressing themes of identity, resilience, and the human experience.

Conceived and led by performing artist and activist Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford, the show invites participants into a sacred space of shared narratives and healing. Described as "community, advocacy, and appeal to humanity," the performance transcends traditional boundaries, fostering a sense of unity and resistance through art. 

"Living within so much history, we rarely are able to breathe without an onslaught of terror," says Martinez-Rutherford. “It’s hard to find our collective footing." The event aims to create a space where art becomes a catalyst for social change and personal empowerment.
