Ritual and Recollection: Assembling The Love Balm Project
Ritual and Recollection: Assembling The Love Balm Project (October 29, 2019 - Noon)
Join Visiting Artist Arielle Julia Brown as she shared about her leadership and development of The Love Balm Project. The Love Balm Project (2010-2015) is a series of workshops and performances based on the testimonies of women of color who have lost children to systemic violence. Facilitated both in Atlanta, Ga and the San Francisco Bay Area, this project existed as public site-specific performances, a play, an institute wherein other cultural workers were trained in the project methodology, a conference closed workshops for collective members and workshops for young people in and out of carceral spaces. Over this lunch talk, Arielle will discuss the elements of this work, it's material and conceptual intersections with the Movement for Black Lives, and the impact of ritual performance work in the work of communal healing.
