Sunday Service - A Raging Grace with Caitlin Baucom | 05.07.2017

NEXT WEEK we are BACK with the raging Sunday Service: Caitlin Baucom presents... An Only Child, Orlando Estrada, Greem Jellyfish, PAUL (Angelina Dreem),QUALIATIK, & Lorelei Ramirez. 
The evening, titled 'A Raging Grace,' will gather artists across disciplines who are lit from within by a burning well, and rather than combust use its fuels to go higher and brighter. 

‘It’s like having a sickness that gets more fierce as it passes on to wellness. We don’t have to view that period as an invitation to despair, but as a sign of potential transformation… whatever pain we are experiencing…’ –bell hooks

Working across performative disciplines, they are each also active as organizers and participants in their broader communities, acknowledging that the roots of rage go beyond the merely personal and its power can feed the world. Together ‘we admit that we don’t want to see the world blown up; we are for the human species.’ 
–Andrea Juno & V. Vale, Angry Women.

Sunday Service is a curated series of short-form live performances across mediums. Taking place the first Sunday of each month in the Ready Room, a guest curator is invited to organize a salon style evening of in-progress works, performances, and presentations, anchored by a framing principle such as a question, proposition, theme, or formal structure. Sunday Service encourages works in progress and interdisciplinary endeavors showcased in a lo-fi environment to foster experimentation and critical discourse amongst peers.
 

Sunday Service "Slumber Party" with Buzz Slutzky | 04.02.2017 (Queens)

Our rad ass series Sunday Service is back this week at the Knockdown Center with Buzz Slutzky presiding!  Brining in the awesome Jes Fan, Trace Peterson, and Catalina Schliebener to hash it out on the mic and screen taking on "Slumber Party" vibes relating to trans aesthetics and childhood.  We will be snacking on popcorn, magical color candy eggs, and covering our nails in glitter while we hash out the fun, mad, sweet, stuff. Sunday Service keeps rolling, finding ways to take on HOW we discourse, making frames, taking up space.  So proud of this series and can't wait to keep bringing more to Knockdown Center and YOU! See you there!    RSVP on fb HERE

Rethinking Feminism Panel at SOHO20 | 03.25.2017 (Brooklyn)

Thrilled to be joining Cat Tyc and an incredible line up of artists and thinkers at SOHO20 this week in an open format discussion tackling the ever changing role of feminism and the "right now" . I'm nervously excited to get into the thick of it, and getting to some nuance in a conversation that needs to get past branding and into purpose, ethics, and who defines. See you there! 

Participants include:  Ruby Brunton, Stephanie Acosta, Christen Clifford, Marianna Ellenberg, Victoria Keddie, Jasmine Gibson, Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Sheetal Prajapati, Buzz Slutzky, Bishakh Som, Stephanie Strickland, and Wendy Vogel

SOHO20 presents NOW//NOW//NOW//NOW as part of the ongoing series Rethinking Feminism, moderated by writer and artist Cat Tyc. This event is centered around instigating conversation around the question of ‘What do we do now?’ in regards to the issues that the Women’s March has brought to the foreground of consciousness in regards to race, sexuality, gender binary identification, and class. Tyc invites fellow artists/writers/curators to speak about how they are are dealing with these issues in their creative work to help guide a conversation in the room about how to move forward.

NEW SERIES - Sunday Service with MAMI | 02.12.2016 (Queens)

I am psyched to be opening the year right with a new series created with Alexis Wilkinson at the Knockdown Center titled SUNDAY SERVICE! I've been thinking about the ways we can communicate about subjects, how discourse might look as performance, how sharing helps create dynamic conversations, how making is speaking.  

For the premier of Sunday Service, Knockdown Center invites MAMIcurators Ali Rosa-Salas and Dyani Douze who in turn have invited Alexandra Bell, NIC Kay, Isabel Flower, Marcel Rosa-Salas, and YATTA to share projects in development across movement, writing, visual art, and sonic practices. With an insistence on collective care, we’ll process what we’ve witnessed together in a dialogue over drinks.
