National Book Launch: Documentado/Undocumented Ars Shamanica Performatica
(Performing Arts (Dance, Music, Theatre, ...))
Spoken word performance by Felicia Rice, Moving Parts Press
Discussion about artist books by Diana Rivera, MSU Libraries
Light refreshments to follow performance
A traveling case for apprentice shamans
A reliquary for imaginary saints
A toolbox for self-transformation
A quiet call to heal yourself with fetishes and antidotes
A border kit to face the uncertainty of future crossings
A new project, seven years in the making
What is it exactly? A stage for an intimate one-on-one performance? An unusual video screening room? A personal multi-media altar? A "vanity" used for preparing for a performance?
It is all these things and it is also an original book, a performative artists' book in search of a new format
and a new audience. Each element stands by itself, but together they form an indescribable whole.
