Literaoke

​In partnership with Kearny Street Workshop’s beautiful Trust the Tides exhibition, we will be hosting a special Flowers & Fields x KSW crossover Literaoke event!

​The format of this event is similar to a salon: bring a piece of writing to share with others. However, in addition to our pieces, we also will share our voice in another way: with a karaoke song! 🎤

​Our current featured readers/singers are Jason Bayani, Christine Imperial, and Michelle Lin! Come to sing and to read or to support your friends in singing and reading! 💕

​Location in SOMA, ~.5 mile from Civic Center BART.

​Trust the Tides is on display at ARC Gallery & Studios 1246 Folsom Street, July 20 - Aug 17, 2024, Wednesday & Thursday 1-6PM, Saturdays 12-3PM.

​As diasporic artists and settlers on Turtle Island, how do we rebuild bridges to ancestry, lineage, and cultural traditions displaced by war and imperialism? Through altars, weavings, photographs, portals, and paintings, we invite you to ‘Trust the Tides’ with us–whether the waters be the ebb and flow of our many griefs and healing, or the undeniable current of liberation. Join us in uplifting the stories that have been stolen or silenced, and engage with art as a ritual for collective care. Learn more about their work: https://www.kearnystreet.org/avalab

​Flowers & Fields is a literary collective dedicated to the incubation of a more radical Asian American politics and poetics in the Bay Area. Through our courses, workshops, craft nights, panels, field trips, and other social gatherings, we bridge the gap between the craft of writing, political education, and the networks of care necessary for the development of mutual power and possibility. Learn more our work https://www.flowersandfields.org and our 6-session poetry workshop, ❤️‍🔥 Asian American Poetics as a Radical Possibility ❤️‍🔥 kicking off October 12 in Oakland (shifted from our Aug 17 date, stay posted on more details here: bit.ly/radsummer24)
