Care and Craft: A Community Workshop
We invite students, staff, faculty, and community members to join us for a community craft workshop with performance artist Katia Tirado.
As part of the ongoing events of the Promiscuous Care and Performance Humanities Institute, we invite students, staff, faculty, and community members to join us for a community craft workshop. We will create art with fabric, thread, and other materials as we experiment with the ways to care for ourselves and others. You do not need to have any expereince with textiles or crafts, and we will provide the materials. You simply need to have the desire to create and rest–as best you're able. Feel free to come for however long you wish! Special guest artist Katia Tirado will be in attendance to participate and co-create our community artifacts.
The third and final event series from the Promiscuous Care and Performance Institute consists of a Symposium and Community Gathering, at which all fellows will be convening in person. Highlights of the Symposium will include performances by Baraka adé Soleil and Katia Tirado. Tirado speaks to a transnational feminist perspective through her explorations of survivance whereas Soleil would help to emphasize the themes of queer disabled performance; together they animate the value of interdisciplinary aesthetics and creative practice. Events will also include a student performance with artist Josefina Báez, a film screening with Iyabo Kwayana, a Hood Museum tour with Alisa Swindell and a roundtable discussion with poet Alexis Pauline Gumbs.
