link is in the linktree 🌳
i'm looking to soundscape galleries more often with any and all musicians who wish to frolic ambiently for silly lengths of time – if you have a gallery that is unfortunately noiseless or want to collaborate, have at it.

An echo~~ from 2 weekends ago for the “Echoes” Showcase by @workinprogressnyc . A crazy photobooth made by me and @haowie.me 2 years ago. Yea all those photos you snapped that you thought were forever lost to the void were actually meticulously compiled into a cute compilation (if u took a photo at the showcase and want the google photos album link just dm me!)

A little recap from some of the artists and what it was like sharing work for last year’s showcase, Bloom.
Every month, we create safe, supportive spaces for people to share their work in progress—and the annual showcase is a culmination of that ongoing practice. It’s always so moving to witness artists sharing publicly for the very first time alongside those who’ve been creating for years but are still exploring something new.
These nights are truly special.
This year, the showcase is going to be 2 days - May 31 and June 1. Out theme is Echoes—an invitation to explore resonance, memory, and connection across space and time. We can’t wait to curate this year’s lineup.
Artist applications are still open—link in bio!

Submit your work for our third annual showcase: “Echoes” - exploring resonance, memory and connection across time and space.
We’re inviting artists, makers, and thinkers to share pieces that reflect this theme.
Poetry, painting, performance, music, dance, video, sculpture, print - anything is welcome, in any stage of completion.
This year, the space will be open to the public from Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening (May 31 - June 1), and we’re expanding beyond just a one-night showcase:
Workshop Leads:
We’re also looking for folks to host hour-long workshops during the weekend - anything that brings people together to make, learn, or connect.
Vendors:
If you’d like to offer food, drinks, art, or services either day, we’d love to hear from you too.

Only 12 seats left for our Brooklyn community screening! If you haven’t saved your seat yet, now’s your chance—link in bio!
In just a few weeks, we’re gathering in a cozy converted warehouse for an evening of film, snacks, and conversation.
To start, we’ll share a bit of historical context about the manong generation and the archive that inspired the film, then screen Dear Watsonville (17 min). After that, join us for a Q&A with director Sondy Lucille and a casual chat on the Filipino American diaspora, the importance of documenting family history, and the legacy of the manong generation.
There will be light appetizers! But feel free to bring your own food/snacks.
Huge thanks to everyone who’s already registered—we’re so grateful you’re choosing to spend your evening after work with us.
