RESPIRATION:RESTORATION begins with an intake of sound and air, launching an ongoing invitation to breathe together. The opening performance of music for mutual flourishing begins on Saturday, September 26, 2020 at 4pm (PST), when Spooky Action Labs will create music featuring PlantWavea technology that converts the electromagnetic waves of plant life into musical sounds. The act of listening to plants as creative musicians encourages a radical shift in consciousness: the realization that these beings who provide us with oxygen have their own messages to share. https://www.makaracenterarts.org/respirationrestoration

The Chicana Project now ONLINE! The Chicana Project was of a series of laboratories that used listening, reading, writing, and media-making as ways to discuss what it means to be a Chicana today. On the webpage, you can listen to excerpts from community interviews, take online zine- and button-making workshops, and interact with us through our online questionnaire. We are excited that we are able to offer thank-you care packages (via USPS) to the first 30 people who res...pond to the Online Interview below! We hope that you will take some time to explore this website, participate, and share your thoughts with us. Special thanks to mastermind and project director Adriana Lilus , and thank you to all the participants, artists, workshop leaders, and volunteers that made this possible!
