FORM’s 2019 cultural programming will include Between Two Books, a conversation between Florence Welch (of Florence + The Machine) and authors Nadya Tolokonnikova of Pussy Riot, Ysra Daley-Ward and more; a Poetry Series with poets hand-selected by slam poetry champ and spoken word artist George Watsky, including Yrsa Daley-Ward, Aja Monet, and others; demos of Tónandi, Sigur Rós’s mixed-reality project with tech innovators Magic Leap; a performance and conversation with Patrisse Cullors, artist & co-founder of Black Lives Matter; art workshops with Renowned African-American artist and 2019 performer Lonnie Holley; and much more to be announced.

FORM was created by the band Hundred Waters after visiting the experimental eco-city of Arcosanti while on tour in 2013. Since then FORM Arcosanti has evolved to host to an incredible range of performances by Solange, James Blake, Skrillex, Father John Misty, Future Islands, Beach House, Flying Lotus, Fleet Foxes, and many, many more.

From creator FORM curator Zach Tetrault:

“Seeing a performance in the Arcosanti Amphitheater is unlike anything else. The intimacy and intentional design of the space makes every audience member feel like they are a part of the show. Having artists like Florence and Paak play in that venue will be a life changing experience. It’s also important to us to feature groundbreaking poets like Yrsa Daley-Ward who are completely changing the landscape of poetry forever. We couldn’t be more grateful and excited about this year.”
