Join Elæ along with a team of co-facilitators including Joey De Jesus, J. Mae Barizo, Edwin Torres, & Janice Lee for a six-week workshop interrogating the speculative potentialities of post-capital futures, imagined through the lens of assemblage: an introduction to a processual worldview that positions the possible within a nonlinear density of dialogue across human and non-human species, intelligences, and stories. Utilizing shared interdisciplinary practices and healing methodologies, and drawing from a wide range of media, our co-facilitators will lead participants through embodied/somatic, co-creative/generative, and investigatory exercises in the service of a making that not only envisions but lays the groundwork for personal and structural change.
Weekly on Zoom, Thursdays 7:30 EST
Six Sessions, Beginning July 23

ALL ACCESS PRICING MODEL / PAY WHAT YOU CAN / COMPARISON COSTS:
Liminal Lab is committed to providing a source of income for our collaborators and facilitators in an increasingly precarious time for culture workers and educators. However, no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds. We ask that those who can pay the suggested price, and/or help cover the cost of scholarship slots in each of our programs by sponsoring other participants.
- Compare the below to the cost for a similar accredited workshop in a university setting (where most of the $$$ goes to institutional bloat): $1500 — we show you this so we can begin to think about wtf is happening in our institutions, where both students and faculty get the short end of the stick.
- At a standard “Market Rate,” at arts orgs: $400-500*
- Recommended Sliding Scale: $40-60/session → $240-360 for the series
- Precarity Pricing: $10-30/session
- Barter / Volunteer / No Cost Option Available
- Sponsorship: You may sponsor low or no fee participants in this workshop with a donation of any size.*if you have the funds to afford the “Market Rate,” we encourage you to support this facilitator by donating at that level, which will also support other students in this course who are unable to pay.
