What is ‘Radical Hospitality?’

“If hospitality is filling every seat at the table,

radical hospitality is building an even bigger table,

crafting more chairs, whatever it takes so that

everybody who needs to sit has a seat.”

About the Set Design

The set of Oedipus the King reflects the unique artwork of over

100 members of the Kansas City community. People were

invited to express their experiences of the tumultuous past year

through painting a piece of the set. We are humbled that so

many people came out to put their unique mark unto this public

art installation and make their experiences be known!
