ARC Alumni Artist Spotlight: Pseuda

2023-04-26T16:29:48-07:00By |Categories: Combustible|

San Francisco is constantly changing, yet CounterPulse endures!

2023-04-26T16:30:15-07:00By |Categories: End of Year Giving|

We have always maintained the alchemy of those grassroots beginnings: part emergent and iterative, part magic and catalytic. I started working at CounterPulse as the Front of House Coordinator in 2008, when I was just 24 years old, and

Exploring within what seedkeeper Rowen White calls the “diaspora of disconnect,” Cole looks for the threads that connect her to a maternal history back to the Ilocos region of the Philippines. What has been inherited? What has been lost? What can be refound?  QUAKE weaves together sound, imagery and vibrations to physicalize ideas of grief, longing and closeness. The project also
