What a fun way to spend a Saturday with rice and community for @yammakesstuff Rice Roots show! 🌾
@moonriceshri led us through a rice workshop to learn about this staple for the people of the global majority and the different ways to cook it.
We got a live participatory demonstration and the best part is we got to eat 3 different rice dishes that Shri taught us to make after! 🍚
Come through for the next event on the 19th for a community potluck! Bring a dish to share. Open to all!
Hosted at @_common_objects .

🎭 OPEN CALL: MELANCHOLY MASQUERADE 🎭
Melancholy Masquerade is a group exhibition about the masks people wear to survive.
We’re looking for work that speaks to hiding pain behind a smile, performing strength, staying silent to belong and the emotional weight carried by people who’ve had to “get along to get along.”
This show is for the ones who learned how to make others comfortable while hiding themselves. The ones who turned survival into performance.
We want art that feels honest, emotional, haunting, beautiful, raw, soft, strange or powerful.
🖤 All visual art styles welcome
📅 Submission Deadline: June 15
✨ Exhibition Opens: July 10-August 1 at Common Objects Seattle, WA during @belltownartwalk
Submit through the link in bio.
Show us what lives behind the mask.
