Charon is going on Tour!
Tour Dates:
Nantes, France: July 8-31, 2022 @ Les Machines de l'Île
London, UK: September 1-10, 2022 @ Greenwich + Docklands International Festival, Canning Town
Clisson, France: June 15-18, 2023 @ HellFest

Thanks to the help of Building 180 we are collaborating with Les Machines de l’île to bring “Charon” to Europe’s best Art Festivals in Nantes, London, Clisson, Paris, and Antwerp in 2022 and 2023.
“Charon” will begin its grand tour at Nantes Maker Campus July 8, 9 and 10, and will stay at Les Machines de l’île (Nantes) until July 31. It will then make its way over to London (September 1-10) in partnership with The Greenwich+Docklands International Festival a free annual outdoor performing arts festival, which takes place across East and South East London. It is incredibly important to us that these venues are both free and open to the public to allow a larger and new audience to experience Hudson’s work.
In 2023 “Charon” will be exhibited in Clisson, France at Hellfest (June 15-18), Paris, France (July 11-30) at Et 20 l’été, and Antwerp, Belgium (August 10-31) at Zomer Van Antwerpen.
This was made possible by all of our listed partners above however traveling with large-scale art takes a lot of labor and funding. We are continuing to fundraise money (please donate here), we thank you for your interest and support!
