Modern Lovers explores love and contraband as ways of living along border sites, showing how limits shape movements, desires, risks, and losses in everyday life. Crossing the border, these artists trace ways in which people, objects, stories, and beliefs traverse liminal spaces not only physically, but also emotionally, conceptually, and sometimes even paranormally.

Nicola Linde is a powerful performer and songwriter. With a whisper-to-a-scream voice and anthemic compositions, she is a singer-songwriter with an edge. Nicola’s material speaks the truth of life today in a way that transcends gender. Love, career, interpersonal relationships, soul-searching and triumph find their voice embedded within her song-craft. Nicola Linde creates a sound that ranges from aggressive, to ethereal, to wistful, while always maintaining a captivating intensity. Free admission and open to the public.Presented by ASUPS NW Sounds
