Happening @ Living Room
2023 - Ongoing
Started as a performance in my living room in Brooklyn, Happening @ Living Room has since evolved into a series of curated performances, workshops and sketches hosted in living rooms from Brooklyn to Iowa City and Los Angeles. Combining elements of happenings, performance art, and experimental music, the series often explores themes of labor, home, intimacy, and collective care, reimagining domestic spaces as sites of healing, resistance, and creative experimentation.
Below are selected pieces from the series.
