ALWAYS GRATEFUL TO HOLD SPACE WITH MY LOVELY @micaela__tobin on MONDAY 5/21 @coaxialarts ——————————————Graceless Lady is a movement and voice based workshop that leans into intuition and trust. Sharing group practice we explore creating space to be present in our bodies and voices cultivating collectivity with confidence, support, and empathy. Grace is part of the body, not separate from us. ----------------------------------- Graceless Lady is a series of performance workshops run from 2015-now. This meet up we’d like to introduce ourselves and our practices, talk about our intentions, and move + sound together. (at Coaxial)

WHEN I CAME TO @coaxialarts got me feeling all the feelings. I keep thinking of all your faces and loving words. All the artist who showed up all week and contributed their thoughts, work and energy into creating this world with me. I ask myself ‘what now- where does this go from here’. The answer always booms out the same ‘sit in it. Stay present for the feelings and do what needs to be done now and time will unfold the rest.’ So for now gratitude-another big thank you to all the beauties that made this powerful day possible performance: @el_sancha & @que.fresca sound pieces: @horsebackridingbecomesyou & @maeamaria live sound mix: @nephilanema video edit: @gris_du_mont & @siouxsiepod makeup: @diamondmoon09 & @celebates ceramics: @_messtiza_ set building: @jawnycakes TY @_oppositional @ntscpal @evaguila (at Coaxial)

I’m very excited to announce my residency with @coaxialarts starts this Sunday. This is my most ambitious project yet but y’all -my art communities- have given me the deep trust to know I can make anything a reality. So let’s see. OPENING 05.05.18 SPECIAL COLLABORATIVE PERFORMANCE WITH MY LOVELIES @el_sancha + @que.fresca #comethru #toastup (at Coaxial)

Today is the closing reception of #pasadomañana @commonwealthandcouncil 12-6pm Please come toast it up with us. Brownness lives so uniquely in each of us and here/now we’ve found our common ground. We found the space to hold up ours differences / commiserate our pains / celebrate our power of togetherness. ALL LOVE YALL ❤️🔥🌶🌱 (at Commonwealth and Council)

Ohhhhh this again. Rafalandia in Marfalandia 📸 @que.fresca #ballroommarfa #bricksquad #alwaysfashion (at Marfa, Texas)

Yesterday Rafa asked me to deliver this portrait. The search took hours and I was lead up and down back stairways and into strange parts of the museum by all these amazing young staff members who quickly became life long friends. When we finally found Eric our hearts were soooooo full. New York I love the way you move! Thanks for letting me swag with you ❤️👸🏽✈️✌🏽🍊🎈 (at Whitney Museum of American Art)
