With support from the California Arts Council, BoxoPROJECTS will produce and oversee the production of “Borrowed,” an immersive experience designed to uplift marginalized communities and inspire action to mitigate the climate crisis. The artistic direction of “Borrowed” will be led by Conni McKenzie, an experienced Black dance and digital artist residing in San Francisco. McKenzie’s creative practice focuses on exploring the interconnectedness of art, nature, and sustainability.

By incorporating dance, nature exposure, and dialog, “Borrowed” aims to educate, inspire, and empower audiences to take meaningful steps towards addressing climate change within their own communities.

“Borrowed” draws inspiration from the perspectives of Black climate leaders who advocate for collective reform and community-driven solutions. By fostering a sense of agency and empowerment, “Borrowed” aims to engage audiences in the necessary societal changes required to reduce global emissions.
