WHAT’S ON NOW…
UNDOXX
November 6th - 23RD
What’s UP NEXT…
Censorship of artists in the U.S. is currently a powerful force, yet it is not unprecedented. By bringing together global majority artists, queer artists, marginalized artists who have understood its inner workings for generations, UNDOXX will spark conversation and generate resources for U.S. artists to understand censorship in the arts, its history, and its current evolutions. Making space for artists to learn in community and presenting works by artists being censored is UNDOXX’s primary intervention.
WORKSHOPS: OPEN HOUSE DANCE AND femme tactics for
surviving fascism
November 20th
femme tactics for surviving facism is a body based workshop & conversation series convened at JACK, in partnership with movement artist Alicia Raquel. The workshops will take place in two parts - While themes from each class will connect the classes are meant to stand alone. You may attend either or both.
open house dance (a freedom practice) is an all level house dance class beginning at the (afroindigenous, queer-as-in-free) root--vibration, rhythm, breath, connection to the ground, emotion, ancestor veneration, and collective play.
femme tactics for surviving facism is a series of embodied workshops & conversation for sustaining political movment building. In it, we will practice-- in word and in body--three main principles: turning toward, aiming through, and engaging femme tactics in relation to the current global rise in fascist ideology.
COMMUNITY POETRY WORKSHOP
Join Brooklyn's very own ¡OYE! Group for a List Poem: Poetry Workshop at JACK!
How do we remember the years before and the lessons learned? The one story that taught you how to be kind, the hug that made you feel held. We welcome the community for free for a poetry workshop on writing a poem about your life. We will focus on writing a list of poems about what we have lived and what is to come. We will be providing food and care packages the participants get to take home with more art materials and tools to keep their brains and imaginations active.
