💰 Fee: $29 Early Bird | $35 General Admission
Taking place August 30–31, 2026, at A Space Gallery in Brooklyn, Love’s Last Letter is an immersive, participatory exhibition combining photography, painting, six QR-accessed letters and audio, audience participation, and live vocal performance.
The story begins with a woman carrying six letters. After a sudden accident, the letters are scattered, and her soul is fragmented along with them. In groups of only nine, visitors discover the letters through the artworks and QR-based audio, gradually helping guide the scattered soul back to wholeness.
The experience culminates in a live vocal performance by the artist, completing the story at the moment the soul finally returns. Guests are then invited to write a personal letter to themselves, reflecting on the memories, relationships, dreams, and parts of themselves they do not want to lose. Read more here.
