In Conversation with Studio 12

Doors 6pm

Talk 7 - 8pm

Hang out 8-9pm

Tamara Al-Mashouk and Patricia Doors discuss why they started Studio 12 and how hosting as a creative practice is the antidote to a world erupted in multiple genocides.

• What is the role of art and artists today?
  
• Why take on the infinitely complex (and exhausting) role of carving space?
  
• How is the work they are doing = art?
  
• Why is it important to nurture the small in service of the large? (After Adrienne Maree Brown's Emergent Strategy)
  

Joined by Sana Barclay, Studio 12 bartender. The trio share insight into the early days of building the studio, creating cocktails from Arabic and Latinx ingredients and collaborating in the face of a world bent on tearing us apart.
