Super Massive Thunder Boom Ultimate Collection by Maria Hupfield is a multiformat performance event that brings together Indigenous design and song in a demonstration of sovereignty and cultural strength the day after the National Day of Awareness and Action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Gender Diverse people. This program is convened by Maria Hupfield, David Randolph Distinguished Artist-in-Residence and a 2020–2022 Borderlands Fellow, a joint initiative between the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School and the Center for the Imagination in the Borderlands at Arizona State University. It is presented by the Vera List Center in collaboration with Abrons Arts Center as part of Hupfield’s ongoing research into Indigenous performance practices and protocols and her Breaking Protocol Borderlands Fellowship project. 

Multidisciplinary artist and performer Ange Loft serves as the evenings Master of Ceremonies, with performances by The Dime Collective from Montreal (Eruoma Awashish, Nahka Bertrand, Sarah Cleary, and Sarah Zakaib), artist and educator Dennis RedMoon Darkeem, and Toronto-based performance art band Jane Schoolcraft, with a guest appearance by Nicole Wallace.
