Join us for a special event as we celebrate the opening of The Day That Never Came / El Día Que with lead artist and 2026 Indexical Artist-in-Residence Rip Florence. Featuring a Q&A with the orators and sound artists that contributed to the work. 

The Day That Never Came / El Día Que is a collaborative sound project created through recorded orations by Mace Crowbear, Lisa Bordenave, Julio Lopez, and Sandra Aguilar, interwoven with original sound works by Leshy (Ben Krasner), Briana Marela, Rip Florence, and e-fem.url (Maya Garcia). The project brings forward personal accounts of survival, displacement, memory, addiction, parenthood, and resilience from the unhoused community, forming a layered listening environment of lived testimony. The work unfolds across a quadraphonic sound installation at Indexical's gallery and record release, inviting audiences into the social realities shaping life of people without housing.

Additional elements of the exhibition include The Untitled and Dispossessed, a county-wide mural map illustrating homelessness diaspora by Joy Schendledecker and Ann Altstatt, visual art contributions from Little Giant Collective, and community tabling from the Lived Experience Action Board (LEAB).
