Myths and Dreams of Red & Blue

The Department of Fine Arts at Weitzman, in partnership with Twelve Gates Arts and Art Philly, presents sāgar kāmath's Myths and Dreams of Red & Blue, a night of storytelling and mythical journeying that weaves together Kathak dance, painting, video, and sound in a one-night-only, one-man show.

Produced in relation to the paintings sāgar created for the summer 2026 group show A Traveler Weeps, A River Laughs at Twelve Gates Arts and the banners created for the front facade of the Parkway Central Library, this will be an intimate evening exploring diasporic identity, nostalgia, boyhood, and the pursuit of the American Dream.

Featuring over 30 original commissions and taking place during the nation’s 250th anniversary, What Now: 2026 spotlights the work of artists from the city where it all began.
