Natasha Mijares: lighting rituals of joy
@ Roman Susan
1224 W Loyola Ave, Chicago IL 60626
Opening Sunday, June 8th, at 2PM
lighting rituals of joy is a reading and altar-making gathering that explores the spaces, objects, and gestures of writing. These spaces are collaborative, spiritual, ancestral, animal, etc. Collectively we will help each other think, write, discuss, and create written and physical works that guide and assist with connecting one to their writing, source material, and deeper ideological interests.
Natasha Mijares is an artist, writer, curator, and educator. She received her MFA in Writing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited at various international and national galleries. Her work has appeared in Gravity of the Thing, Hypertext Review, Calamity, Vinyl Poetry, and more.
This workshop is a part of the exhibition romansusan.org/To-Scatter-What-Remains by Lauren Flaaen.
