The Joy Parade
SEPTEMBER 14, 2019
South end to upham’s corner
We took the jubilation of Nick Cave’s Augment to the streets with Boston’s first-ever joy parade! The inflatables along with more than 75 Boston-area artists & performers, and 500 members of the public joined in a celebratory three-mile procession relocating the sculpture, creating a joyful public spectacle, and bridging the South End and Upham’s Corner neighborhoods.
On October 20, 2020, Cave’s inflatables found new life at Real Art Ways in Hartford, CT. The building wrap at 555 Columbia Road remains up as a continued symbol of shared joy.
Together with our partners, we activated neighborhoods from the South End to Upham’s Corner, celebrating community joy, and putting the power of collective making on display.
