'Any Other Way' - Dolce Wang's Album Release @ VENIA Studio

Presented by ANIMA Initiative, VENIA&rsquo;s &lsquo;Dear, Sincerely&rsquo; is a one-day event transforming Travel Town into a living storybook &mdash; a place where history and imagination meet through immersive storytelling, engaging activations, artist installations, augmented and virtual reality experiences, live music, dance performances, food, and live entertainment.&nbsp; What does it feel like to experience the emotional arc of the last goodbye, and the first hello - as if walking through a fantastical vision of the Industrial Revolution, rooted in memories of others while carrying your own? For one day only, lose yourself amidst the backdrop of train travel as a metaphor for migration, and how all our different stories developed Los Angeles into a city worth inspiring new dreams &mdash; culminating in a theatrical runway presentation by VENIA to close the evening.
