Town Hall: Sanctuary

Tuesday, May 21, 6:30-8:15 PM

Join A4 for a Town Hall on the topic of “sanctuary,” inviting artists to speak on how they examine concepts of refuge and safety in their work. How do you create a zone of safety for yourself and others in your work? How might traditional ideas of security actually be dangerous?

We will be hearing from two multidisciplinary visual artists whose practices traverse these themes and more: Shelly Bahl, whose work is currently on view in the group exhibition Devoted: Religion in Asian American Art at EFA Project Space, as well as Sook Jin Jo, whose work transforms found objects into spaces described as transcendent and sacred. The evening will also feature a line-up of two-minute pitches from the community. After the presentations, we’ll host a potluck meal, so please bring something to share; homemade or store bought items are welcome. A4 will provide drinks.

This event is FREE and open to the public. RSVP is required to pitch and/or attend, but please note you do not have to pitch to attend. Interested in pitching? Please carefully read about the pitch process here.
