I eat both, and maybe even a third — all at once. They mix inside of me, and I birth out a hybrid. Diverse, unnatural, impure, unlabeled, beautiful. I make new life with my cultural cannibalism. My creation-creature is a mix of all their original beauty and their primal beast.

Welcome to the Rhubarb! Festival 2026.

At Rhubarb! 47, Ludmylla Reis returns for their second year as Festival Director and they present you a group of artists smashing unfit things together into… well… art.

Capacity is limited, so get your nightly passes ASAP!
