World-renowned artist Es Devlin’s choral installation CONGREGATION returns to Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) for a limited time.
Following a critically acclaimed engagement, PAC NYC is thrilled to offer audiences an extended opportunity to experience Devlin’s work with Pay-What-You-Wish reservations starting at $0 during select times from December 9, 2025, through January 4, 2026.
CONGREGATION features large-scale chalk and charcoal portraits of 50 Londoners who have experienced forced displacement from their homelands. Presented as a projection-mapped tiered sculpture, the work offers a luminous encounter with those who bring their gifts to a new country.
The work was co-authored by the 50 portrait sitters, reflecting on their lives in London, as well as their journeys from more than 25 countries, including Syria, Sudan, Ukraine, and Afghanistan.
CONGREGATION premiered in London in October 2024 and was created in partnership with UK for UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, Kings College London and The Courtauld. You can hear Es Devlin talk about her creative process in the free PAC NYC digital guide exclusively on Bloomberg Connects.
