Searching for Collective Memory is the culminating event of Pioneer Winter Collective's sixth cycle of Grass Stains, a site-specific performance initiative developed in partnership with Commissioner and Maven Leadership Collective at The Bass Museum of Art. The 2026 Grass Stains cohort—Nina Osoria Ahmadi, Cecilia Benitez, Darryl Brown, Lisa Kusanagi, Arsimmer McCoy, Nicole Pedraza, and Hattie Mae Williams—will perform throughout the museum grounds, activating the site through movement and interdisciplinary performance during guided art tours. A panel conversation curated by Commissioner and moderated by Corey Davis of Maven Leadership Collective will feature Vanessa Charlot, Jason Fitzroy Jeffers, and Lise Ragbir, exploring how art and collecting function as tools for truth-telling, memory, and cultural reclamation, inspired by Isaac Julien's Vagabondia (2000), currently on view at The Bass.
