A "happening" is a type of artistic or cultural event, often spontaneous or loosely structured, in which the boundary between performers and audience is blurred. Originating in the avant‑garde and performance art scenes of the 1950s and 1960s, it typically involves audience participation, unexpected actions, and a focus on experience rather than on a fixed script or traditional stage. A happening can take place in galleries, public spaces, or unconventional locations, and may combine elements of theater, music, visual art, and everyday life. The term is also informally used to describe a lively, trendy, or noteworthy event.
