Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good
— Adrienne Maree Brown
How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life?
Art Technique
Cyanotype
Cyanotype photography is a camera-less technique that involves laying an object on paper coated with a solution of iron salts before exposing it to UV light and washing with water to create stunning white and Prussian blue images. Artist Linda Sukamta leads private and group workshops.
Hair Salon
JURK TOKYO
JURK TOKYO weaves sophisticated hair designs that complement clients' fashion preferences and lifestyles. This next-generation salon is unafraid to take a mixed-media approach to its art, notably weaving flowers, string, and other textural elements into the hair. The experimental essence of JURK TOKYO'S craft qualifies it literally as "hair design" as it exudes unconventional, often architectural pilous craftsmanship.
