The Traveling Show is an ongoing nomadic movement and socially engaged art project in rural towns in the Deep South. The Traveling Show is a way to create an invitation through welcoming gestures that then encourages people to imagine more good could happen, while examining real and tough issues.
glo is passionate about the legacy of the South’s civil movements and wars and how they are remembered in our bodies, how gesture and resistance are passed down over generations. The concepts of geography and cartography inspire us to explore issues of socioeconomic inequality, ancestral, and spiritual life, and what new forms of expression develop when both sides of the tracks are engaged. Who can lay claim to the south? Who gets to dance? The Traveling Show serves as a provocation, for being inside your body as a mindful cultural activity, so that we might wrestle with our contemporary moment, gauge how far we’ve come, and how much farther we have to go. glo launched The Traveling Show in 2013 with a SEED grant from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. To date, the project has engaged 61 rural southern towns, and 3 art sites in 9 counties, across 20,000 miles, to offer free and public art to more than 67,058 southerners.

The Traveling Show opened in March 2019.
