🛁 Broken Bone Bathtub: The Documentary Screening

In July + August, we teamed up with the incredible performance artist Siobhán O’Loughlin for two unforgettable screenings of Broken Bone Bathtub. The film captured Siobhán’s years-long immersive tour in bathtubs across the globe, exploring human connection in the most intimate of spaces. Guests were treated to a photo opp, an adorable merch booth, and a heartfelt talkback with Siobhán herself, making the event as interactive and inspiring as the film. Held in both Tacoma and Seattle, it was a celebration of art, vulnerability, and the power of live experiences.
