The InCUBATE-curated portion of the Cabinet of Curiosities series at the MCA, The Metaphysical Club, is a one-night-only re-convention of the historic conversational society that was active throughout the 1870s in Cambridge, MA.

The event will feature presentations by Rozalinda Borcila, Joe Grimm, Liz Joynt-Sandberg, People Powered (Lora Lode & Kevin Kaempf), Bert Stabler and Fereshteh Toosi.
