KISMET ARTS TANGENT
FALL 2026 PROGRAM
Kismet Arts Tangent is an Oakland-based interdisciplinary arts collective.
Our gatherings often take the form of aniconic rituals—participatory experiences centered on creative processes rather than fixed stories or characters. Through shared actions, documentation, and dialogue, we investigate new ways of making art together.
