On June 6th, we escape the noise by creating our own.
Bass that shakes the system.
Lights that burn through the dark.

but to reclaim joy, unity, and freedom.
This is how we rage against the machine;
with rhythm, rebellion, and radical love.

Natalia Franco is the sculptor and creator of Goop World, an ever-expanding realm of characters, design and explorative sculpture.
She uses materials like ceramic, paints, resin, steel, foam and faux plants, finding no end to the expansive nature of sculpture. Her desire to create is fueled by the human experience – a release of love, pain and soul that opens the heart and mind and frees up space for introspection and observation. “Protection Through Connection” Franco’s first solo show at MIXD will take place in July.
