Joining the North Adams annual Fall Foliage Parade, Cauleen Smith’s procession features a local marching band playing a composition based on the iconic notes from Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Wizard of Oz, along with a color guard waving flags designed by the artist and casting a trail of vibrant billowing smoke. With music by Jeff Parker and choreography by Anna Martine Whitehead, this activation is both a celebration and commemoration of the people who did not successfully rise above the violence and dehumanization of the modern industrial age.
