Open 12-5pm Saturday, August 22 with “Dandelioness” playing gothic Americana witch-pop on the Punch Stage 3-5pm.
Albuquerque-based songwriter “Dandelioness” is known for her radioactive falsetto and visceral, hypnotizing stage presence. Her achey-hearted americana sensibility mutates into infectious pop riffs, glittering with autotuned vocoder and underscored by spiraling patterns of fingerstyle guitar. Growling, crooning, generally in an outrageous getup, “Dandelioness” gives a vulnerable and playful show, resulting in a southwest soft gothic americana witchpop that opens portals to other dimensions.
In the Punch Gallery, join us for the continuation of the “Unbridled” exhibition, bringing together the work of Daphne Sweet and Charlie-Anne Hopkins to examine the landscapes, mythologies, and cultural inheritance of the American West. The work in this exhibition explores how Western and classical narratives have shaped ideas of power, labor, gender, and belonging, reimagining these inherited stories through care, embodiment, and material practice.
Together, Sweet and Hopkins create a dialogue between classical ideals and Western mythology, offering a vision of the West rooted not in dominance or nostalgia, but in relationship, tenderness, and the possibility of new forms of kin.
Not to mention, we’ve got beverages and snacks in the Punch Snack Bar.
Plan to arrive early for a good seat!
Join us for this free, all-ages event at Punch Projects in Thorp, Washington.
