Daniela Rivera: Hacia Cuando (To When)

Daniela Rivera: Hacia Cuando (To When) opens July 11, 2026, at MASS MoCA in North Adams, Massachusetts. The Chilean-born, Boston-based artist invites viewers to walk on her floor fresco, an inclined platform crafted from handmade tiles fabricated in pre-Hispanic fresco traditions. As visitors walk up the floor, microphones beneath the incline amplify the sounds of their movement. In October, Rivera and the museum will combine those sounds with performers' voices and movement in a new opera work, Hacia Cuando: An Opera, featuring Javier Gustavo Bustos, Jenny Olivia Johnson, and Sebastian Muirhead. Rivera will also lead fresco-making workshops to pass on knowledge of the traditional craft.
