Special events may feature different pricing. This year’s theme is Disrupt the Focus, a statement that questions which narratives are emphasized, and which are silenced. Rendezvous With Madness continues to be a platform for artists, whose lived experience expand our understandings of living with mental health and addiction. To disrupt the focus is to challenge the systems that define and contain what it means to live with madness, to interrogate the stories that have been written about us rather than by us. Every artist featured in Rendezvous 2025 is a disruptor. They move beyond acceptable narratives of resilience and recovery to confront the intersectionality of lived experience.
