Site-Specific Dances returns to Provincetown this summer with the next phase of EROSIONS, a multi-year public art project rooted in the town’s changing landscapes, cultural memory, and ecological future.

Following a first summer of workshops, environmental dance film, and interviews with residents and scientists from the Center for Coastal Studies, EROSIONS now expands into new public-facing formats: a five-channel media installation at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, presented in connection with the Center for Coastal Studies’ 50th anniversary exhibition; a screening at the Provincetown International Film Festival; and a second season of participatory workshops, performances, and related public programming developed with and for Provincetown. Together, these programs create a shared space for artists, scientists, residents, and visitors to reflect on a landscape in transition. Workshop dates and times are at www.sitespecificdances.com spashpage.

Provincetown Art Association and Museum Exhibition ( in Collaboration with the Center for Coastal Studies )
May 15–July 19, 2026

Site-Specific Dances will present a five-channel media installation in Persistent Curiosity: Charting the Rippled Fabric of the Sea | The Center for Coastal Studies 50th Anniversary at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum. Curated by Mark Adams and Christine McCarthy, the exhibition brings together contemporary artists and works from PAAM’s collection reflecting on marine ecology, coastal landforms, whale biology, tides, currents, and life by the sea. Our piece focuses specifically on environmental erosion and incorporates fieldwork made with the Center for Coastal Studies. Presented across five screens arranged on a corner, the installation extends EROSIONS into a museum context, translating site-based fieldwork into a carefully edited moving-image artwork.

Provincetown International Film Festival 2026 ( PIFF )

We’re thrilled to share that EROSIONS, a new film emerging from our broader residency and research project in Provincetown, has been selected for a special screening at the Provincetown International Film Festival this June. Moving between interview portraits, archival material, and dance film, the work explores coastal erosion as a powerful metaphor for cultural erosion, reflecting on queer memory, belonging, access, social continuity, and the inevitability of change. EROSIONS will screen on Wednesday, June 10 at 4:30 PM at Provincetown Town Hall. The official festival lineup has been featured by IndieWire; please visit the Provincetown Film Festival website for tickets and screening details. EROSIONS screens on June 10, at 4.30 PM.
