“The theme, ‘SUPER FLEX,’ which encourages participants and festival visitors to think about shadow selves and alter egos, is a direct response to the current political climate, says Candace Huey, Edge on the Square’s head curator.”

“Art can be scary for certain people because it is so potent, and that’s why arts is usually always one of the first things that certain administrations will cut because it has this potency and power to fight against those that want to take away freedoms,” she said. “The sub theme, shadow selves and alter egos, is thinking about how we can tap into different facets of ourselves to have liberation and freedom that may not be allowed in our daily societal constraints.”
