I’m having fun in May! From may day rituals to the re-starting of outdoor dance parties to leaf workshops to ballet performances. Hope you’re having fun too <3. I’ll be in and out of the city a bit more in the next couple of weeks, which makes for a lighter schedule of events ahead. For me, it’s a time for hunkering down on various projects-to-come (seriously, so much happening). It’s going to be a vibrant June and summer ahead. These are the vibes!

🎉 Upcoming: The Party at the School of Radical Attention (June 11, 18, 25). I’m teaching this seminar about Parties at the school of radical attention. I’m building the case intellectually and in practice for parties as a radical political and art practice, come sign up to examine the practice of partying… and craft your own party practice. $200-280, scholarships available.

🌘 ClosedAI Block Party at Sara D. Roosevelt Park: Waning Crescent (Fri May 15 @ 11am). Do you want to express your frustrations with AI, with hearing about ChatGPT all the time? Come hang, build a data center, soapbox your feelings, auction off some contracts feeding the military-industrial complex, and join the growing community of people who are, frankly, fed up. Free.

🌑 Look! Meet Your Neighborhood Plants Workshop at Green Oasis Community Garden: New Moon (Sat May 16 @ 11am). Surya is leading this workshop to get to know our plants. It’s always so great to make space to just look at the things growing all around us. Free.

🌑 Wire Festival at Knockdown Center: New Moon (Sat May 16 @ 8pm). It’s sold out but just putting in here in case anyone else will be there Saturday night and wants to hang. Believe it or not but it’s gonna be my first time at Knockdown Center! (after many a basement night..). Sold Out.

🌑 New Moon (Sat May 16). Usually I keep a quiet, personal ritual for each new moon. Instead, I’ll be at a techno festival surrounded by a huge crowd… a bit different. But I’m still looking forward to taking a moment with the new moon, asking what patterns in my life I can dance away. This new moon, invitation to ask yourself: what has solidified, and what will shake up if you just let yourself freely move, rather than orienting towards a particular direction?

🗣️ Subletting Apartment in August. Also, I’m subletting my apartment for the duration of the month of August, as I embark on my annual residency in the mountains. If you or someone you know is looking for a cozy spot to stay, let me know! ✿
