A woman gives a lecture about the brain. A woman gives a lecture about a man and his brain. A woman bakes a cake. Fuck that. She does nothing like that. A woman puts on a large hat and plays at being a man, pushing a sharp object through the soft bit of an eye socket. Chalk dust falls from the ceiling and two monkeys that might be children talk about the ways that pain is processed in the brain. Becky and Lucy. Walter Freeman. War is coming. Count backwards from ten. Becky and Lucy. Becky and Lucy. Becky and Lucy. Becky and Lucy. Becky and Lucy. War is coming, always.
Participating Artists: Jo Lampert, Ariel Woodiwiss, Nina Segal, Sanaz Ghajar, Jen Goma, Emily Reilly, Ben Hobbs, Maddy Bersin, Waeli Wang, Vincent Santvoord
This event is part of a performance series from 6:00pm- 8:30pm, followed by a short discussion.
