IRL//URL Persona Party @ The Commons [public]
🚨 we are sold-out, no tickets will be sold at the door🚨
VIBES ✨
Join us for an experimental art party at The Commons where we will be playing with the concept of multiple and shifting identities: your online persona, your social role, your maximally actualized dream self, your schizo anonymity, your suppressed side, your shadow.
This is an identity playground. We’ll explore the blurring, separating, and meta-formation of identities and celebrate the gathering of various communities. There will be masks, experiential spaces, zines, musical jams, DJs and more.
DRESS 💃
Express yourself however you want— wear your weirdest outfit! Feel free to wear a fit that consists entirely of tissue paper bound by rope; be an e-girl or This Part Of The Void; dress up as your twitter avatar, your alter-ego, wear pajamas, be totally anon.
Wear that hot item you’ve always wanted to show off but haven’t gotten a chance to.
