Has Instagram surpassed blogging? I've come to prefer its ease of use and immediacy. Twitter, too, enables quick sharing of ideas, mostly stream of consciousness commentary, which feeds my embroideries and artist statements, hyperbolic though my comments may be. How to transfer followers from one platform to another?
To check in with me more regularly and give me access to your visual diaries, let's follow each other on Instagram.
For now, here are some more images of figures I'm profiling in Native/Immigrant City, an ongoing conversation with Brooklynites and New Yorkers (natives, transplants, immigrants) about surviving/thriving amidst breakneck speed gentrification and crushing daily demands. Currently receiving support through a Greater NY Arts Development Fund grant from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs administered by BAC (Brooklyn Arts Council).
I'd like to think that Artists Who Write, Salon II, was as moving for audience members and performers as Salon I. Thank you Swati Khurana and Montana Ray for sharing your never-before seen or heard works. Thank you Jenny Douglas for trusting my curatorial vision and for the warmth and generosity that makes The Brooklyn Cottage a community home.
We just might do this again sometime, when The Cottage resumes programming in September. Until then, enjoy the summer. I leave you with some of my favorite photographs from 6/17...
Last Wednesday's inaugural Artists Who Write Salon was a success, with unexpected revelations and debuts of new writing from Yazmany Arboleda, Kent Shell and Seldon Yuan. I can only hope they each get a book deal.
We resume this Wednesday, 6/17, from 7-9pm, with Swati Khurana, Montana Ray and Iviva Olenick. We're going to turn up the dial just a bit louder.
Reserve your ticket here.
Thrilled to be teaming up again with Jenny Douglas of The Brooklyn Cottage
for a new literary reading series mining multiplicity. Artists Who
Write features sculptors, installation artists, dancers, designers,
performance artists, painters, crafts people, book artists, for whom
writing is an integral part of their creative practice and a
pursuit on its own.
