Presented by ZERO1 and South FIRST FRIDAYS
Kick off summer with the 2nd Annual SubZERO Festival, a diy, artistically bent, hi/lo-techno-mashup where street meets geek. From 6pm ‘til midnight between San Carlos and Reed Street, you’ll find two stages of entertainment plus 100 artists, performers, and musicians celebrating the indie creative spirit. Test-drive a custom low-rider bike, try your hands at stop motion, bear witness to urban yarn-bombing, travel back to the future for a nineties-look at cyber fashion, watch a little subversive TV and listen up for spontaneous acts of percussion.
And be sure to check out the SoFA galleries with shows to complement the revelries outside. Participating galleries include: Anno Domini, MACLA/Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana, San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles, and WORKS/San José.
