Donna Huanca and the Temple of Dendur

Experience The Met collection anew as artists working across disciplines—including poetry, theater, design, and more—respond to works on view in encounters that can only happen at The Met. Join multidisciplinary artist Donna Huanca to reimagine the Temple of Dendur as a living being, linking its architecture to the human body, both subject to cycles of decay and renewal. This immersive program begins with a contemplative audio tour starting at the Nile and ending in front of the temple gate, where two models embody the temple’s ancient inscriptions using performance to awaken the monument as a site of ritual, memory, and continual transformation.
