It is with great pleasure that I announce CounterPULSE’s newest Artist in Residence, Xandra Ibarra (AKA La Chica Boom) and Seth Eisen!
Xandra’s subtle yet biting use of satire destabilizes images of authenticity. Seth’s unique brand of dazzling storytelling reconnects us with lost queer wisdom. Together these works will make you question who you are and where you came from, all the while dazzling you with costumes, drag, burlesque and puppetry. You’re sure to leave out the in-door and not knowing which way is up!
Xandra and Seth will be in residence with us from May-Sept 2012 with shows on Sept 20-23, 2012. Track their process and blogs at counterpulse.org!

Inspired by ancestral, community-centered, and spiritual relationships to land and plants, [and then we must be] by Audrey Johnson is a research and ritual project honoring Black American practices with land and plants through the modes of food, farming, rootwork, and magic. The work honors the practices that get passed down through recipe, spell, and story, as well as the memories active and activated in the body, plants, the land (soil, clay, mycelium, strata), and in spirit.
