The In Between: Tea Talks
with Lexa Walsh
Join us for our first Tea Talk:
Activists Round Table
Saturday, March 1st, 3:00 to 5:00 pm
To attend this event, registration is required.
The In Between: Tea Talks are series of intimate facilitated discussions over home cooked meals that bring together conflicting populations of artists, activists, workers, Veterans, civilians, and others in a hospitable environment so each may share their positions in a safe yet open and critical dialogue. The goals of the project are to:
Complicate the current good vs. evil/us vs. them narrative while eliciting understanding and extracting nuances from all sides.
Engage in local micro politics while placing these issues in the larger current political landscape.
Create a space for hospitable democracy.
Share understanding about issues affecting our communities to a broader audience.
Lexa Walsh is an artist, cultural worker and experience maker. Her upbringing as the only bad athlete in a family of fifteen in the Philadelphia suburbs, and coming of age in the Bay Area post punk cultural scene of the 1990’s informs her interest in alternative lifestyles, economies and communities. With a background in both sculpture and social practice, Walsh makes site specific projects, exhibitions, publications and objects, using an array of materials including ceramics and textiles, employing social engagement, institutional critique, and radical hospitality to question hierarchies, power and value. She recently relocated from Oakland, CA to the Hudson Valley.
