It’s not every day that emerging stars from across visual arts, performance art and literary arts join forces. However, Saturday, July 21st is that day.  The Blue Rose presents: DETOX at The Ear, 255 Boerum Street (#1) in Brooklyn, beginning at 8 pm. Multidisciplinary artists, storytellers and image makers are presented over the course of a single, magical evening. Curated by Polina Riabova, a formative performance artist in her own right, the event features the talents of Kaia Gilje & Mohammed Zenia, Claribel Jolie Pichardo, Oya Damla, Lauren O’Neal, Emily Brill, and Jung Hee Mun over a the course of a three hour event.

With a focus on gender equality and marginalized voices, The Ear is an art space that has become synonymous with ground-breaking experimental events and performances. The evening features renowned multi-faceted performance artist Pichardo, whose interactive work combines performance with audience participation, body-based collaborative performance work by Gilje and Zenia, performance reflecting the body and identity through sound by Damla, Brill’s incisive literary stylings, O’Neal’s thoughtful reflections, and Mun’s explorations on behavior and human aesthetics as transferred through image-making. The first time these creative luminaries are all engaged in a single evening, each performer evinces a unique perspective on social dynamics and the human condition through contemporary art-marking and literature.

Featuring multi-talented New-York based creatives in experimental, genre-bending performances, DETOX marks a departure in cutting-edge contemporary arts and literature. Don’t miss your chance to join in the fun – RSVP today!
