YOU'RE INVITED to the opening of Kinfolk by Christina Erives at Junior High on May 15, 2026 7pm — 10pm.⁠ ⁠ Christina Erives’ work is rooted in the language of folk art—where storytelling, tradition, and daily life meet through the handmade. She is drawn to the quiet power of objects shaped by hand, carrying marks, symbols, and gestures that feel both personal and shared. ⁠ ⁠ She understands kinfolk as more than family—it includes all those connected through making, sharing, and remembering. The people she comes from and those she finds along the way. Each piece becomes a vessel for connection, holding stories that are both intimate and collective. ⁠ ⁠ Working primarily in clay, she explores the balance between function and narrative. Surfaces are carved, glazed, and layered with imagery that echoes folk motifs, reinterpreted through her own visual language. ⁠ ⁠ At its core, her practice honors making as a form of remembering—an offering to the past, a reflection of the present, and a gesture toward the future—where art continues to connect us to our kin, our communities, and the enduring thread of shared imagination.

Are you starting Pride Season single? This queer Pitch and Pair event welcomes all genders and sexual orientations — as long as you're enthusiastic about dating someone who is bi/pansexual!⁠ ⁠ How it works: The event will start at 8pm with some mingling. We will provide ice breakers for lightly guided conversation or just an opportunity to scope out the other cuties in attendance.⁠ ⁠ At 8:30pm our host from Infinite Spectrum will introduce the presentation hour. Here, a few members selected from our communities (in advance!) will pitch their single bestie to the room.⁠ ⁠ At 9:30pm the event will conclude with some more unguided mingling so you can pass Instagram handles and phone numbers to the new cuties you just met!⁠ ⁠ How we choose the presenters: If you are interested in being a Potential Presenter, visit the Junior High calendar for more info!

In this beginner friendly class, we will create a mini loom out of cardboard and pins, and go over the steps to weave a mini pouch. This is a great introduction to weaving, if you have been curious. Bring a friend, sip some tea, make a friend, or get cozy and quiet while you get in the zone. By the end, you can bring home your finished project for your tiny trinkets. All materials provided.⁠ ⁠ Devon (they/she) loves being outside, cooking at home, drawing, and thrifting for yarn. Devon was shown how to weave by a friend when they first moved to LA 10 years ago, and keeps learning through books, videos, and many experiments. They are excited to share what they know, and connect with other arts and crafts lovers. Feel free to reach out! @devonnolte
