Mmmm mmmmm... at Secret Location in Washington Heights

From the creators of MIXT: A Living Gallery, The Why Collective presents a new speakeasy salon series designed for intimacy, intention, and imagination, mysteriously called Mmmm mmmm. These Monthly miniMIXT Mondays promise to be a grab bag of music, movement, musings, mingling, meditation, and more. miniMIXT takes everything you love about our immersive gallery—art in motion, community art creation, and unexpected connections—and remixes it into a speakeasy setting. For three hours on a Monday night each month, we’ll gather to form a micro-community, built moment by moment.

On the evenings of September 29th and October 27th from 7-10 PM, join us for an underground art gathering that echoes the creative expansiveness of 20th century Parisian salon culture, which birthed forward-thinking artistic movements that still impact the art world today. Taking inspiration from the hush-hush cabaret shows of 1920s Berlin and the bohemian counterculture of 1960s music in Greenwich Village, Mmmm mmmm emphasizes the importance of furtive spaces for creative freedom and intellectual exchange.

Enjoy a phone-free performance with thanks to our partners at Yondr!

To step inside, you won’t need words—just a murmur or a hum. Make the sound of the event title at the door, and your evening begins. Just remember: mmmm’s the word…
