DESCRIPTIONS OF EVENTS

Listen to the universe, what does it sound like? Following the studies led by composer Pauline Oliveros, we will explore three modalities of sonic meditation: Listening, Moving, and Dreaming. Be prepared for light and gentle movement, moments of stillness, and play.
Monster Writing + Making – 12/19 7-8pm
a collab with aegor ray
Monsters are a coagulation of collective fears, uncertainties, and beliefs. In this writing workshop, we’ll contend with the complex histories of the grotesque and monstrous in our culture and practice becoming curious about our own specific anxieties. We will build monsters, both to behold and befriend.
Mojo/Talisman Bags – 12/20 7-9pm

Known by many names, gris gris , mojo, talismans, these items of protection originate from central + west africa, and are a blend of muslim, catholic, native american and pagan traditions.
