A Pop-up Salon Event by Corduroy Pop-Up Event Community. Address will be emailed to you!
How does hate “spread”? What makes it an attractive public stance for some? Where do we find it in ourselves? What is it that causes disconnection from those Robert Fulghum-esque lessons posters like All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten tried to teach us?
Music and poetry will accompany a visit by Washington DC poet, sommelier, and trans woman Cayla Calhoun, formerly of Asheville and raised in Birmingham, who sits for an Oprah-style interview after a brutal, life-changing event. She’ll tell her story, and read her writing. You’ll like Cayla. She’s smart and funny, and an expansive conversationalist with a surprisingly grounded take on her experience. The evening is designed to be steeped in curiosity about human psychology, definitely not always serious. We’ll sit around on couches and pillows and touch on current events, to look under the hood for human meaning. Charlie Kirk. Talk-show-host-ousting. Hillary Clinton referring to a group as “Deplorables”. I’ll (ahem, Oprah will) ask your take on some podcast excerpts.
As with all Corduroy events, exact address (always in a comfy central Asheville spot) will emailed to attendees morning-of. Please join us, and bring a friend. All political persuasions and beliefs welcome - bring your Kindergarten manners. Adults 18+ only. All proceeds go to Cayla, even though she doesn’t need them.
