Upcoming Events

Performance Art Event   : Sunday, June 8  : 6 pm

Occurring in roaming venues, Public Nature is a performance series run by Danielle Ross. It includes artists working across disciplines including dance, experimental performance, sound, and text. Meant to stay on the move in terms of place and people, Public Nature aims to bridge disciplinary communities, foster a scrappy, head first approach to performance, and allow for a risk-friendly space for artists to show improvised or in-process work.

Lucy Cotter (Laoiseach Ní Choitir) (she/her) often comes full circle creatively through art writing, making, curating, and educating. She is the author of Reclaiming Artistic Research (2024), a book of dialogues with artists foregrounding art as material, embodied, spatial, and choreographic thinking, and a site for decolonizing, de-ableizing, and re-Indigenizing knowledge. She is currently working on a hybrid memoir engaging with (minor, immigrant, disappearing) language entitled Between Language– A Love Song, and a related body of artworks. Her next curated group exhibition, Ghosts in the

Throat: Language, Song, Orality, Resilience, opens at Oregon Contemporary on 29 June. Irish-born, she is based in Portland.
