Sharing with you some virtual offerings - tools from artists to creatively survive and thrive at home during the Covid-19 pandemic (link in bio!) . ***Home is a healing playground*** . As part of the Apokalypsis project, Philadelphia-based artists Eli Avenue and Amalia Colon-Nava have created virtual sessions that you can explore by yourself or with just a few others at home. Both experiences hearken to child-like states of open-mindedness and wonder. Eli offers neo-narcissi...sm in the quarantine, an audio guide to being flagrantly narcissistic, aka self-loving. drawn on the works of the great dada & surrealist and gender fluid/trans artist who changed his name to Claude Cahun and who pushed to be themself in the 1920's. Amalia presents a handbook, Pop-Up Play in Quarantine, a guide to creating a playground for yourself out of what you have at hand and inhabiting it with curiosity. . All offerings are $$FREE$$! Donations to the Whole Shebang (Venmo @TheWholeShebang) are gratefully received but totally optional, and will go directly to Eli and Amalia. . More information, including how to access the material, can be found here: http://www.thewholeshebangphilly.com//apoklypsis-project-p . Images courtesy of the artists See more
