For five consecutive days beginning March 29, 2023 The Harmony Show filmed new episodes/performances as part of the exhibition Hard Return: 9 Experiments for this Moment at the Neuberger Museum of Art. Hard Return transformed the museum into a site of collaboration, investigation, and performance art. Nine artists including Nao Bustamante, Autumn Knight, Brendan Fernandes, Patty Chang, Jesus Benavente, and Amber Hawk Swanson were commissioned to create participatory, durational week-long projects that experiment with a sense of being alive in this moment while proposing different ways of shaping and understanding community.
