Storytelling through the body, whether via the meditative movement of craft or through performance itself. How stories can be told with  material, intention, and activated through experience. We are interested in work that tells a story both on and off the body—objects that investigate storytelling  and consider wearable art as a living ritual object. Each of the artists featured works with material and intention to create objects that act as living deities for the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than presenting adornment as static objects, the performance will bring the pieces to life through movement and ritual, transforming wearable objects into a shared, time-based experience. The four-day exhibition will culminate in a performance on the final night that will feature music and dance performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Exhibition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exhibition will take place at Rosa in Williamsburg, November 16–19.

The table becomes an alchemical dinner party, a place of mystery, story, and creation. Objects will be displayed alongside sacred vessels, liquids, materials, and processes that speak to time, transformation, and the transmutation of experience. Together, the works create a ritual landscape where each object carries a story, revealing something of the mysteries of creation through the perspective of each artist.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe exhibition will culminate in a performance on Thursday evening featuring music by Agua Viva and a performance featuring Fanny system, as well as performances by Hanna-Katarina and scottie hall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe project grows out of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlter the Present\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, an exhibition we previously curated at the Mendocino Art Center.
