Body + Botany
@ Plus Gallery Chicago
1800 W 18th St, 1R (entrance on Wood St), Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Wednesday, November 29th, from 6PM - 8PM
“We learn from SEEDS that what may seem dormant breathes life. PLANTS teach us to create patterns that cycle upwards (a.m.b). It is the NATURE of our bodies to be adaptive, intelligent, intuitive microcosms of magic. This is what we gather to invoke and grow.
This 2 hour EXPERIENCE integrates playful, witchy, performative movement- and plant- based practices to inspire presence and curiosity. The darker, colder months got you down? By stimulating the senses and exploring relationship to plants, we seek to RE-ENERGIZE any stagnancy, monotony or blockages we might be holding onto.
What to expect:
A lil meditation
A lil movement
A lil drag
A lil sumthin sumthin to take home
$10-20 sliding, RSVP in advance
