Queer Theory + Creative Writing with Dylan Cooper

Teens + Adults • For many queer writers, our queerness compels us to push boundaries, disrupt norms, and imagine ourselves into spaces that may not have been conceived. Creative writing often asks the same of us. With no academic background required for participation, this seminar will explore how the practice of writing intersects with the (multitudinous, rather undefinable) field of queer theory.

'ghost patterns, or, routine maintenance for a holobiont' Gallery Opening

Friday, June 5th • 5:00 - 7:00 pm

all ages! • Moving between a range of styles within paintings, Sally Jablonsky shows a respect for: the physical, the pleasure of looking and of making, art making and viewing as an embodied experience, and the importance of questioning aesthetics as an essential part of resistance and survival. As it is a part of the fantasy of ableism, Jablonsky throws away mastery and instead is guided by the pure fun of making, as well as a questioning of her own aesthetic tendencies. Imagery in paintings comes from experiences she’s had that have given her a certain kind of awareness of her body–a new perception and relationship involving care and maintenance, physical feeling, and a mental picture of who and what she is.
