New Red Order Presents: The Urge 2 Merge is an innovative live event format that weaves between public assembly, academic symposium, music and film festival. Artists, activists, and academics share the line-up with musicians and historical re-enactors in order to present a night of discursive delirium and historical hallucinations on the unruly legacy of Thomas Morton - Plymouth Colony’s most scandalous settler and proto-countercultural visionary.


Inspired by New Red Order’s new work Material Monument to Thomas Morton as part of the Boston Public Art Triennial the event will feature contributions from Basel Abbas + Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Peggy Ahwesh, Phil Deloria, Jack Dempsey, Lucky Dragons, Jim Fletcher, CSC (Les Leveque + Greg Fox), Grout, Ed Halter, Nile Harris, Firefly the Hybrid, Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, Josh Kline, Mary Amanda McNeil, Karthik Pandian, Jean-Luc Pierite, Alex Tatarsky + Shane Riley, Lana Romanova and more!!!


The event is open to all ages. Please note that there will be a security checkpoint for IDs, as both alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages will be available. Pizza will be served at 9:00 pm, with additional treats at 10:00 pm.


This is an event that you will not want to miss. Registration is free but required. Register now here.


Location: Indoors at 4 Marketplace South in Faneuil Hall, directly across from Wagamama. The space is ADA accessible.


Artist Information: 

New Red Order is a public secret society that collaborates with informants to create exhibitions, videos, and performances that question and rechannel subjective and material relationships to indigeneity. New Red Order orients their work through the paradoxical conditions of Indigenous experience, and explores the contradictions and missteps that embody desires for indigeneity in the myths, dreams, and political foundations of the so-called Americas. Through modes of entertainment and corporate address, museological display, re-appropriation, and a multiplicity of swerving artistic strategies, NRO aim to collectively advance understandings of how identity is conveyed and configured within contemporary art practices, in order to create sites of acknowledgment that promote solidarity and shift obstructions to Indigenous growth. 


New Red Order is facilitated by core contributors Adam Khalil (Ojibway), Zack Khalil (Ojibway), and Jackson Polys (Tlingit). They have presented their work with Art Sonje, Artists Space, Creative Time, Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Kunstverein in Hamburg, Lincoln Center, Momenta Biennale de l’image, Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, New York Film Festival, Sharjah Biennial, Sundance Film Festival, Toronto Biennial 2019, Walker Art Center, and Whitney Biennial 2019, among others, expanding the public secret society network across numerous institutional platforms.
