Where: Grace Cathedral, 100 California St. at Taylor, San Francisco

Co-directed by Gabriele Christian and Chibueze Crouch, collectively known as OYSTERKNIFE, this piece interrogates the role of the Church in personal lineage and its influences across Afro-Diasporic cultures. This immersive, participatory performance combines dance-theater, ritual masquerade, song, poetry, and video to explore how Black cultures have transformed Church into a uniquely syncretic cultural space.

We discuss different topics and share our experiences, thoughts, and knowledge. Reading is not required. However, if you want topic details beyond our discussions, please refer to the book available on BARD (DBC11619). Please note these peer-led support groups will be on the 1st and 3rd Mondays beginning again in March.

About the Author, Hannah Fairbairn. Hannah was born in the UK with partial sight. She began her working life as the chef of a popular London bistro. At 33 she lost nearly all her sight overnight and discovered that soups were the only food she could confidently cook. Her cookbook, "Soups," won the prestigious Andre Simon award. She continued writing about food for the New Statesman and contributing weekly to “In Touch” the BBC radio program for blind and visually impaired people. When she moved to Massachusetts, Hannah joined the staff of the Carroll Center for the Blind, where she taught home and personal management for 18 years, pioneering interpersonal skills groups to help clients manage successful interactions with the public and their families.

11:00 am: Create In Community Art Classes (in-person)


Feb 8

Let's gather together in the 11th floor art space at LightHouse San Francisco at 1155 Market to explore a different art process, style or media each moth while connecting with fellow creatives. These are exploratory, process-oriented classes that invite you to work at whatever level you are, be it first timer to expert.

During the month of February, let's create and paint tactile creations.  Using found materials such as rope, cardboard and foam paired with bold and metallic paints, we will create works that are both haptically and visually engaging.  As this will require multiple weeks to complete, please be prepared to attend regularly.

No RSVPs needed. For questions, contact Maia Scott at MScott@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7608.
