Pedestrian Service Exquisite is the Transmodern Festival’s free afternoon of site-specific performances that explore the nooks and crannies of Baltimore.This year’s pse celebrates May Day. May Day is synonymous with International Workers’ Day, or Labor Day. It is a day of political demonstrations and celebration, it also signals the birth of spring. It is a holiday for fertility, flowers, the goddess Flora and Saint Mary. May Day is our day of merrymaking to celebrate re-generation, renewal and creation! It is in this spirit, that Pedestrian Service Exquisite (PSE) presents an afternoon of urban safari featuring performance, action, and revelry on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Expect tours, interventions and participatory site-specific works that celebrate regeneration, sustainability and notions of creating anew!

about Bulgarian Folk Music. “In five days we found, filmed, and recorded
more than we had hoped.(this
film) is a small section of what we saw, and attempts to convey the
vibrance of the long, storied, Bulgarian folk traditions, and the
curious place those traditions find themselves in.“Kari Altmann (Baltimore, MD)A metamedia and wi-fi based artist who works between disciplines, sites,
softwares, and material realms. Her collaboratively networked R-U-In?S
