Allegories of Inertia questions personal simulation and performativity. We as individuals investigate virtue signaling and karmic gravity when considering mobility, so naturally, this influences our sense of time and trajectory. The gallery is designed to reflect different experiences with time, allegorically as “competitors” within liminal space, from the perspective of broken time, and in allegorical reference to the ’96 Summer Olympics breaking infrastructural time in Atlanta, GA. In nationally including global tourism through the black belt south, all simulations of social ecologies were broken and fragmented in the rush to expansion. This, in many ways is meant to foreshadow what is to come of infrastructural time and performativity as Kansas City prepares for the hyper-development wave, post FIFA 2026. Allegories of Inertia investigates true occupancy of time-based space via performance. Featuring: Caleb Jamel Brown (BKNY/ATL), Yulie Urano (KCK), Shawn Bitters (KCMO), Marie Bannerot McInerney (KCMO), Noelle Choy (KCMO), Kandy G Lopez (FLA), Alexis Borth (KCMO)

Charlie Avenue at WonderWorlds—Charlotte Street Gala 2024

October 19 | 7:00–11:00 PM Allegories of Inertia will be open for exploration as Charlotte Street’s Campus is transported into a peculiar landscape of duplicates, disorientation, and alternate universes filled with fantastical discoveries and uncanny experiences. In this bizarre flipped reality, there is no Charlotte Street, only Charlie Avenue. Visit the gallery where time is warped and familiar faces aren’t so familiar… Learn more about WonderWorlds and ticket options here.
