Medicine and surgery can be life saving, but the imperfections remain. The human experience is full of nuance. Everything about humans emanates from the flesh, and all of our bodies and minds are atypical. Why do we strive to be typical? How can the narratives of our flesh bring acceptance and solidarity?


Join us for a performance and pop up art show centering the body, its ills, and triumphs.
