SUMMARY:Major Exhibition: Nobody's Fashion Week
DESCRIPTION:Nobody’s Fashion Week\nSeptember 1 – October 15 \nFull Exhibition Program at\nNobodysFashionWeek.com\nView the Nobody’s Fashion Week Zine HERE \nFashion is all around us. Fashion is body politics\, representation\, sustainability\, systems. Fashion is a medium that everybody participates in\, whether they like it or not. Fashion is Powerful.  Nobody’s Fashion Week aims to democratize Fashion by encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration\, skill-sharing culture\, and self-expression for everyone. \n \nDuring Covid-19\, we have witnessed the current fashion industry crumble as clothing sales go down\, shows get cancelled\, and more people turn to DIY. We ask\, with hope: What will be rebuilt in the shell of the previous industry? Who’s Fashion Week is it? Nobody’s Fashion Week is a reimagining of the fashion industry from the bottom up.   \nIf you have any questions about Nobody’s Fashion Week\, please reach out to us. For updates\, join our mailing list and follow us on instagram @nobodysfashionweek. Let’s reimagine the Fashion Industry together!\n \n\nExhibition Description \n\nOur show was dreamed up as a response to the hegemony\, wastefulness and gate-keeping of the corporate fashion industry. Nobody’s Fashion Week is a growing community of  independent designers taking agency in redefining our own Fashion Week and proposing alternative systems for Fashion. \nNobody’s Fashion Week features works and public programs by 20+ alternative artists\, designers\, educators and organizers using wearables\, textiles and the body as a medium. Their practices span a range of themes –  such as personal identity\, body politics\, cultural history\, sustainability\, craft and technology – but all share roots in critically engaging with fashion. From September 1 – October 15\, we will launch a six week exhibition of Nobody’s Fashion Week\, consisting of an online exhibition\, artist residency\, participatory workshops\, artist talks and other public programming. We want to engage with and empower both emerging designers and everyday people to find fertile spaces to express themselves through clothing and to share their creations.  We believe people of all backgrounds\, sizes and abilities should have agency over their self-expression. We invite anyone to engage in our community and conversations as we collectively redefine the future of fashion.\n \nOur Artists-in-Residents are\nAlyssa Denay Carter\nMoira Williams\nHAUS OF YBA by Nana YaaSerwaah Akuoku \nOur participating artists are   \nAnna Hart Turner\, Elise Putnam\, Eugenia Pigassiou\, Gabrielle Vazquez\, Giana Pilar González\, Gina Goico\, Gustavo Toledo\, Jason Elizondo\, Ji Ae Sohn\, Juliet Johnson\, Iris McCloughan\, Isabel Tamar Hajian\, Karolyn Hatton\, Kristen Leonard\, Magdalyn Segale\, Melo Baby\, Noah Pica\, Patricia Torvalds\, Taz the Tailor\, Tumbler\, Verena Meyer and Yun Ray Chung \n\nNobody’s Fashion Week is co-curated by Lexy Ho-Tai\, Jaime Iglehart\, Dew Igworia-Onwuka and Johanna Schwab. \nAll workshops are free\, though $5-20 suggested donations are very much appreciated. All money donated will go directly to paying the artists facilitating the program (unless otherwise stated). Programs will be recorded and archived online with captions. If you have any access needs (ex. ASL\, Live Captioning\, etc)\, please email us at least one week before the workshop at fashion@fluxfactory.org. Creating a space that is accessible\, safe and inclusive is very important to us!  \nNobody’s Fashion Week is hosted by Flux Factory\, with support from the Ministry for Arts\, Culture the Civil Service and Sport of Austria\, the Austrian Cultural Forum New York\, Bildrecht – Austria`s Collective Management Organisation (CMO) für Visual Arts\, and a generous donation from Joe Castillo.

SUMMARY:Open Call: Nobody's Fashion Week Reporter in Residence
DESCRIPTION:Open Call: Nobody’s Fashion Week Reporter in Residence\n\n\nThe Reporter in Residence is responsible for documenting their experience of one or more events at Nobody’s Fashion Week. The reporting will provide content for the Nobody’s Fashion Week Zine as well as the archived classes\, and our presenting artists who can then incorporate it into their own websites. Ultimately\, we will be selecting content from the Reporters in Residence to be published in the Nobody’s Fashion Week Zine– an exhibition catalogue which seeks not just to document the exhibition itself\, but also our thoughts\, conversations and experiences with Fashion and self expression. \nReporting is entirely subjective and open to interpretation! \nIt could look like: \n\n\nScribbling down notes \n\n\nTaking screenshots \n\n\nDrawing sketches of the workshop taking place \n\n\nSelfies of you and your textile “work-in-process” as you take part in a workshop \n\n\nWritten reflections jotted down after the workshop takes place \n\n\nQuotations from the workshop leader and participants \n\n\nYour own thoughts and musings on fashion\, creativity\, politics\, etc\, as sparked by the event \n\n\nA journal entry of your day before\, during and after the workshop \n\n\nAnything you wish to create! This process is totally open to your creative input! \n\n\nIf you are interested in being a Reporter in Residence for Nobody’s Fashion Week\, please take a look at the event calendar\, and email us at fashion@fluxfactory.org\, indicating which workshop you would like to report on!

SUMMARY:#indigenizemememoji.2020 - New Works by Jevijoe Vitug
DESCRIPTION:#indigenizemememoji.2020\nNew Works by Jevijoe Vitug \nLaunching August 9\, 2020 \nOn the event of the International Day of World’s Indigenous Peoples\, Flux Factory is pleased to present #indigenizemememoji.2020\, a solo exhibition of paintings by Philippine-born artist Jevijoe Vitug. This exhibition\, initially cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic\, is presented here in digital form. \nDescription\, Artist Bios and List of Works Below\n \n\nExhibition Gallery\nTitles\, size and medium listed below \nPurell meme + Health Worker!

Layering graphics referencing the COVID-19 pandemic and statewide protests against systemic racism\, each painting amplifies this historic moment as translated through digital culture. \nThis new body of work is composed of 13 paintings\, in which Vitug continues his painting technique titled “pintados\,” painterly brushstrokes that have nuances of indigenous mark making. Similar to digital pixel units\, these marks become codes to forming imagery invisible at a first glance. Working in oil paint\, acrylic\, airbrush and water based UV-fluorescent paint overlapping one another\, the artist uses a diversity of painting media. \nA repeated motif in the works are brands around which viral memes were made during the pandemic\, such as Corona beer\, Purell hand sanitizer and Clorox bleach. The painting Queen Bey’s Purell Meme (2020) is based on a meme by Saint Hoax in which Beyonce holds Purell bottles\, while emoji hands reach out for the sanitizers. This work\, part of a diptych\, sits next to This is……Why (2020) which appropriates a meme posted by NBA star LeBron James showing a police officer’s knee on George Floyd’s neck\, next to a former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick kneeling in protest of police brutality. Both rendered using marking details similar to the tattoos of indigenous warriors in the Philippines\, depicted in the Boxer Codex manuscript (1590). Vitug combines a diversity of technique and reference to draw attention to the complex and interdependent forces impacting this social moment. \nOver the prolonged period of lockdown\, Vitug has continued painting in his studio as a coping strategy and to reflect on his experience living in Queens\, NY\, the epicenter of coronavirus outbreak that has disproportionately impacted immigrants of color. He uses coded humor\, layered with straightforward messages and hidden meanings to make visible his pre-colonial/ indigenous heritage\, and his continuing quest for decolonization. \n\nArtist Bios \nJevijoe Vitug \nQueens-based artist Jevijoe Vitug creates paintings\, performance and community projects as avant-garde strategy to visibilize labor\, indigenous legacy and the forgotten history of people of color. \nJevijoe earned his MFA dual degree in Studio Arts and Design and Technology from San Francisco Art Institute in 2015 and his work has been included in exhibitions at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (2005\, 2006)\, Singapore Art Museum (2006)\,\nDiego Rivera Gallery\, San Francisco\, CA (2009)\, Contemporary Arts Center\, Las Vegas (2012)\, Staff show at The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, NY (2017\, 2019)\, Queens Museum\, NY (2018)\, San Diego Art Institute\, San Diego CA (2019).

SUMMARY:Flux Factory Major Exhibition: where will I be buried*?
DESCRIPTION:where will I be buried*?\nJuly 17 – August 22\nView full exhibition at wherewillibeburied.com\n\nCurated by Muse Dodd and Catherine Feliz\nConcept created in collaboration with Muse Dodd and Jasdeep Kang\n\nFriday July 17\, noon: Exhibition Tour on the Flux Factory Instagram\nFriday July 17: Exhibition launch at wherewillibeburied.com \nAugust 8\, 3pm EST: Artist Talk \nFULL PROGRAM BELOW \nwhere will I be buried? is a whisper\, a vigil\, a torn photograph in a lovers wallet\, a plea. The need to be remembered and honored in our lives and death(s). \nFeaturing work from over 12 Queer and/or Trans\, Black and Indigenous\, People of Color (QTBIPOC)\, where will I be buried*? holds space for artists and audiences from marginalized communities to center ourselves in our mourning\, healing and transformations. For QTBIPOC communities the question of where “will I be buried” is not easily answered. How we approach ritual\, ceremony and death varies culture to culture\, religion to religion and even more so depending on your gender or sexual identity. Too often Black Trans* people are misgendered in their death\, a continued violence that started long before the moment of their death. Using death as an entry point the included artists bring dynamic responses to the titular question exploring pleasure\, pain\, longing and transcendence.  \n\nThe work shapes the exhibit into a transformative space that holds conflicting truths at once\, understanding that our experiences are uniquely our own. Some artists offer comforting prayers\, altars\, and song; others document our imagined and contested past and possible futures. This online exhibition features the incredible multimedia work of artists Felicita Felli Maynard\, Jessica Lauren Elizabeth Taylor\, Nine Yamamoto-Masson\, Smita Sen\, Brittany J. Camacho\, Rox Campbell\, Catalina Xavlena\, Dillon God Gardner\, Monilola Olayemi Ilupeju\, Wazina Zondon and Linda Labeija. With workshops and performances led by Vee\, Electropapi\, olivia ahn\, and Karolina Castro. \nCurating during COVID and a social uprising has been a challenge. As curators from the communities most impacted by these events we have had to be flexible\, creative and patient. What the quarantine has revealed is that not everything translates online but it is our job to make our work more accessible for more people. \nPress contact: buried@fluxfactory.org \n\nFULL PROGRAM \nTo View the Exhibition visit wherewillibeburied.com \nJULY 17\, noon\nTour of the online exhibition and website on Flux Factory Instagram Live \n\nWORKSHOP – this event has reached capacity\nJULY 18\, 1pm \nSet the altar: queer interfaith life\, spirituality + identity\, presented by olivia ahn\nClick here for full details and Registration Link – Zoom link sent upon registration \nThis is a QTBIPOC (Queer/Trans Black\, Indigenous\, and/or People of Color) centered space and is intended as an offering specifically for QTBIPOC people.⁣⁣ \nSet The Altar is a collective tending space where participants are encouraged to honor a god/godess/gxdxx\, diety\, divinity\, saint and/or ancestor that they currently work with in their spiritual and/or religious practice that supports and protects them either in their queer identity or cultural lineage. \n\nFILM SCREENING \nJULY 18\, 3:15\nMuttererde by Jessica Lauren Elizabeth Taylor\nThere’s Just Something About Death That Makes Us Dance: The Revival by Rox Campbell \nFollowed by conversation with filmmaker Rox Campbell and curator Muse Dodd \nClick here for full details and Registration link – Zoom link will be sent upon registration\nTwitch link: www.twitch.tv/wherewillibeburied \n\nWORKSHOP\nJULY 25\, 3pm\ndeath becomes us  facilitated by Karolina Castro \nRegister here – Zoom link upon registration \nThis is a QTBIPOC (Queer/Trans Black\, Indigenous\, and/or People of Color) centered space and is intended as an offering specifically for QTBIPOC people.⁣⁣ \nIt’s never too early to plan for your death.

If you are a white participant\, please be conscientious of your participation as QTBIPOC centering will be prioritized. \nRegister here – Zoom link upon registration \nVee AKA\, Electropapi (They/She Pronouns) was taught from a young age that desire can lead to death. Parental figures always taught them that sexual desire in the Christian perspective could be a path to the underworld in the after life\, and the only salvation is in Jesus Christ. Vee always thought growing up- “hm.. if Jesus loves everyone\, isn’t he kinda gay?” and “Isn’t God\, with all these rules and sins\, and the punishment there after\, a dom daddy?” These questions guided Vee to a different path. In Vee’s Caribbean-based ancestral healing practices\, they realized that salvation can only happen when desire is liberated.  Holiness is liberated queerness. Once one embraces the fear of death and pain\, desire through the exploration of kink can be a path to salvation from the white supremacist\, cisheteropatriachry\, colonial landscape.  In this film\, Vee explores the crucifixion\, ascension\, and sainthood of the Black and Indigenous queer trans two spirit body as a sanctuary of desire in kink and bdsm.  \n\nAUGUST 1\, 3pm\nPERFORMANCE\nPerformance by Wazina Zondon feat Terna Tilley-Gyado\n \nRegister Here – Zoom link upon registration \n إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ‎ + inna lillahi/indeed we belong to Allah wa inna ilayhi raji-un/and to Allah we return \nإِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ‎/ Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji-un/Indeed we belong to Allah and to Allah we return (re)creates and preempts the burial rites queer and trans Muslims are not guaranteed but ought to be.

SUMMARY:A Song For Sickness by Jonathan Sims
DESCRIPTION:A Song For Sickness\n\nBy Jonathan Sims \n\nMay 8 – June 14\, 2020\nIn the Flux Factory Gallery Windows\nSafely viewed from the sidewalk \nOn May 8th at sunset\, Flux Factory will launch A Song For Sickness\, a light installation by Jonathan Sims in the windows of the Flux Factory Gallery. \nThis new piece will join the Center of Holographic Arts Light Windows\, a public-facing exhibition of light art in spaces around New York City and the world. A global event to mark the International Day of Light on Saturday\, May 16. \n\nStatement for A Song for Sickness:\n \n\n“I spent the first ten days of quarantine in New York City in self-isolation with a persistent cough\, shortness of breath\, and terrifying waves of anxiety. A Song for Sickness began as a desire to represent the immense emotional energy I expended in panic attacks and in desperate pleas for intercession and wellness. It is also an inheritance of the countless prayers and spells that human beings have devised over the millennia to ask the universe for healing or\, in my case\, strength to accept the potentially permanent changes that the virus could bring as a new norm in my life. \n“The work is about the constant evolution that every individual undergoes throughout life\, and the unique beauty of that growth. This durational nature of the piece is punctuated by a collage of abstracted symbols that represent our psychic reverberations to these changes. \n“Though this piece came to be in an extraordinary time where the entire planet is hyper-focused on a single virus\, my intent is for this invocation to gather energy to all people for whom illness is a part of their lives. I also want to acknowledge those at greatest risk now\, not only because of the threat of a novel virus\, but because of the failures inherent in capitalist institutions there are those whose tenuous existences are now even more precarious. These include the chronically ill\, those with compromised autoimmune systems\, the elderly\, the caretakers\, and the workers–all of whom are being asked to make sacrifices to uphold the very economies and institutions which have already been failing them. I ask viewers to not only consider this work as a potential conduit for healing\, but as a meditation on the complex relationships every human being experiences with sickness.” \n\n– Jonathan Sims

SUMMARY:人柱の物語 (hitobashira no monogatari): solo exhibition by Nine Yamamoto-Masson
DESCRIPTION:人柱の物語 (hitobashira no monogatari): solo exhibition by Nine Yamamoto-Masson\n\nThis exhibition has been cancelled in response to heightened concerns relating to the spread of COVID-19 \nIn her first solo exhibition on Turtle Island\, Nine Yamamoto-Masson presents new works that reflect on the private dimensions of war and US imperialism in Asia that\, sidelined by hegemonic regimes of knowledge and cold bureaucratization of violence\, often elude representation and public discourse – especially within the US public imaginary of Asia and of US military actions. \nIn this exhibition\, Yamamoto-Masson chooses a reduced formal language and visual codes to unlock engagement with the history\, reality\, and the private and political afterlife of the Manhattan Project and the ongoing global nuclear colonialism it is but one aspect of – including its legions of ghosts around the world. In drawings\, collages\, installations\, and sculptures\, the artist negotiates the politics of what can be publicly revealed of the active legacy of gendered and racialized state-sanctioned violence – including rape as a technology of power – and what remains incommunicable and unwelcome. \nThe works in this exhibition are part of a lager body of intermedia\, academic\, and activist work in which Yamamoto-Masson maps how fascisms and rape culture operate necropolitically in the battlefields of bodies\, memory\, historiography\, and media representation. \nNine Yamamoto-Masson is a French-Japanese artist\, theorist\, writer\, community organizer\, activist\, and translator. In academic research\, artistic and activist practice\, her work analyses the gendered necropolitics of (neo)coloniality with regard to the legacies of European and Japanese colonialism and how they presently manifest as configurations of power and economies of knowledge that exert violence on bodies and futures. She studies the modes of organization of networked resistance\, and the workings of resistant memory challenging hegemonic dominant narratives\, focusing on the role of art and inter-diasporic\, internationalist\, inter-generational solidarities. She is a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam; in 2018 and 2019 she was a visiting researcher-artist at Hiroshima City University. \nwww.nineyamamotomasson.com\nPlease share on Facebook

SUMMARY:An Evening of Quadraphonic Sounds
DESCRIPTION:February 28\, 7pm\nFREE \nPlease invite friends on Facebook \nAn experimental sound performance in four channel speakers that will envelope the audience with evolving and sonorous motion. Visual artist Jonathan Sims will be providing live projections \nBorn in Evergreen Park\, IL in 1984\, Anthony Janas. Retired Magician. Boat Captain. Sound Artist with a focus on advanced modular synthesizer techniques and digitally processed field recordings. Member of multimedia group known as Urbe and seminal noise/performance group Panicsville. Contributing artist for the Midwest Society for Acoustic Ecology.  Anthony Janas has presented work throughout the United States\, Mexico and Western Europe. Anthony Janas work has ranged from sound installations on sailboats to playful performances such as juggling cheeseburgers. Anthony Janas’s work attempts to merge the institutional and pastoral moments of human existence. \nJenn Grossman is a sound/experiential media artist concerned with the psycho-spatial possibilities of time-based media\, exploring displaced realities\, staged synchronicity\, cyclical time\, collective memory\, embodiment/disembodiment\, perceptual affect\, and transcendent experience. She treats sensory media as a portal into the surreal\, subconscious\, and otherworldly; through its displacement into everyday settings\, objects\, and spaces. Her work has taken the form of modular sound sculptures/installations\, multichannel sound works\, light/projection events\, ambient music/soundscapes\, video\, and public interventions. \nJeff Kolar is an independent sound and media artist\, composer\, and curator. He is the Founder and Artistic Director of Radius\, an experimental radio broadcast platform established in 2010. His work\, described as “speaker-shredding” (Half Letter Press)\, “wonderfully strange” (John Corbett)\, and “characteristically curious” (Marc Weidenbaum)\, activates sound in unconventional\, temporary\, and ephemeral ways using appropriation and remix as a critical practice. His solo and collaborative projects\, installations\, and public performances often investigate the mundane sonic nuances of everyday electronic devices. \nJonathan Sims is a New York City based visual artist who originally hails from Texas. His visual arts practice is characterized by brightly colored geometric abstractions and simple\, minimalist symbology that evokes language and universal\, ancient design. \nJonathan began his practice with painting\, but has since moved into digital animation\, sculpture and projection installations\, print\, long exposure photography and graphic design. His work is intended to elicit a sense of familiarity and artistic intent in viewers\, but his compositions remain stubbornly non-objective\, and his fictional “glyph” languages refuse transliteration. A consistent premise underlying his work is based on the idea that a modern human’s relationship with the very ancient past is mirrored in their relationship with the distant future. \nPast exhibitions include gallery shows and large scale projection installations in San Antonio\, Bushwick\, Governor’s Island\, and upstate New York.

SUMMARY:Pêdra Costa Artist Talk: Decolonization is a Verb Inscribed in Bodies\, Tongues\, and Orifices as Portals
DESCRIPTION:Pêdra Costa Artist Talk: Decolonization is a Verb Inscribed in Bodies\, Tongues\, and Orifices as Portals\nFebruary 26th\, 7:30pm \n\nJoin us for an evening with artist and scholar Pêdra Costa discussing their work in conversation with Nine Yamamoto-Masson (current Flux Factory Artist-in-Residence). \n\nPêdra Costa is a ground-breaking\, formative Brazilian urban anthropologist and performer based in Berlin who utilizes intimacy to connect with collectivity. They work with their body to create fragmented epistemologies of queer communities within ongoing colonial legacies. Their work aims to decode violence and transform failure whilst tapping into the powers of resilient knowledge from a plethora of subversive ancestralities that have been integral to anti-colonial and necropolitical survival. \n\nIn this special artist conversation at Flux Factory\, Pêdra will present their work in conversation with Nine Yamamoto-Masson and will discuss the role of art in the project of decolonising the body\, society\, and also art institutions\, illustrated by examples of struggles in Brazil\, Germany\, and “the USA.” \n\nwww.cargocollective.com/pedra

SUMMARY:Good Morning\, India!
DESCRIPTION:Image description: A decaying wall mural of the Indian flag\, gold on the top a blue wheel in the middle and green on the bottom\, with a pile of rubble and bricks on the bottom. from Bangalore circa. 2014.\nSaturday\, January 25\nMedia Making Workshop\n11am–4pm \nArtist talk by Sindhu Thirumalaisamy\n4pm \nPlease share this event on Facebook\nThis workshop is open to people of all ages and backgrounds but an RSVP is required. Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP to maya@fluxfactory.org \nInquilab Zindabad! \nThe spirit of resistance is alive in India. The forces of facism are met with the love\, care\, humor\, and strength of a newly forming people’s movement. For a month the whole nation has been in protest against Hindu supremacist laws that suppress the basic rights of several minority groups\, particularly Muslims. Sounds and images have been a vital part of this resistance. WhatsApp memes\, songs\, music videos\, kolams\, and a range of posters have flooded our imagination\, describing the nation that we want to live in. Join us for a workshop and talk with Flux resident Sindhu Thirumalaisamy where we will listen\, view\, read\, and contribute to the resistance with sounds and images. \nPrior to the talk\, the Flux Factory gallery will turn into a workshop for media making. Do you want to make a poster? A meme? Want to record a video? A song? Want to learn how to draw a kolam? Want to chat with about what is happening in India and beyond? We will gather materials\, equipment\, and people to help make all of this happen! \nSindhu Thirumalaisamy is an artist working across sound\, video\, text\, and installation. She is a participant of the Whitney Independent Study program in 2019-20. Sindhu holds an MFA in visual art from the University of California\, San Diego\, is an alumnus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, and a fellow of the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar.

SUMMARY:Know The Ways: Solo Exhibition by Marjan Verstappen
DESCRIPTION:Know The Ways:\nSolo Exhibition by Marjan Verstappen\nFriday January 17 – Sunday January 19 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, January 16\, 7 – 11pm\nOpen Hours: Friday\, Saturday & Sunday\, 1 – 6pm \nPlease share this event on Facebook \nA solo exhibition by Flux resident Marjan Verstappen\, Know The Ways is a critical exploration of colonial understandings of the frontier\, as received through the abstract landscapes of Florence Martin. A virtually unknown contemporary of the Transcendentalist painting group\, Martin destroyed her paintings in the 1960s during a crisis of faith. Using x-rays and rare historical photographs of the paintings\, Verstappen has recreated a collection of Martin’s major works. Through these actions\, Verstappen explores deep spiritual and cultural conflicts within Martin’s paintings\, and ultimately\, the legacy of guilt and greed within settler relationships with the land.

SUMMARY:RUB - GaraParty
DESCRIPTION:DECEMBER 7\n10pm – 1am\nSuggested Donation $5\n \nFlux Factory Gallery \nThis party is a program for the exhibition\nRUB – Now Wave and Graphic Activism \nGARAPARTY is created by DEX FERNANDEZ with DJ Dekdestroy from Manila \n\nPlease share on Facebook! \n\nThe GaraParty was born out of that desire with the notion of parasitic infestation expanded in the form of a fantasy: Guests assume the role of Garapata\, set free and welcomed by a willing host – the party venue. GaraParty is a commentary: An escape from the dire circumstances of reality\, such as dirty politics\, poverty\, loneliness\, discrimination\, etc. It is also an idyllic moment where\, in contrast to reality\, parasites – or metaphorically\, humans on the margins of society.\n\n\n\n \nGARAPARTY will be preceded by:\n \n4 – 7pm\, WORSHOP: FAMILY ALBUM PHOTOS IN ART by Martha Naranjo Sandoval \n\nFamily pictures are interesting because their amateur quality makes them as intentional as they are accidental. In this workshop we will revise works of art that use family pictures in different ways and experiment with family pictures. Found family pictures will be provided but we encourage to bring your own as well.
