THE LENS is a continuation of our salon series that investigates the components of craft, embodiment, and perception. During each event, we’ll take a different approach to the question “how do these interrelated undertakings interact with a holistic creative practice?”

In this salon, we will explicate the different ways of entering into poems through metaphors of the visual. When we look through a glass lens, we establish a focal point and emphasize certain elements of landscape, thereby enacting a transformation on what we see. How can we utilise this technology to aid in the creation of illusion and artful composition within our own work?

The event will be happening over zoom on Sunday October 17th at 2 PM PST, and you can register here.

THE MASK is the first in an ongoing series of lectures/salons investigating the components of craft, embodiment, and perception. During each event, we’ll take a different lens to the question “how do these interrelated undertakings interact with a holistic creative practice?”

Masks aren’t just tools of performance—they can also be an important ritual artifact. When we introduce an obstructing layer between ourselves and the world, we further our own power to move beyond a limiting view of the self. We’ll explore the topic deeply over the course of an hour and a half through a combination of lecture, discussion, and generative writing.

The event will be happening over zoom on Saturday May 29th at 3 PM PST, and you can sign up here.
