Fwd: Ovarian Psycos, SERC Making Party & Engagement, Exploration + Intervention through Sound

[Jeffrey Warren]

Hi all - thanks for making last weekend's SERC event so amazing, and forgive me for not posting a follow-up yet - I just traveled for a week and have been behind on all sorts of things. 

For those looking to help with DS4SI's SERC kits, please check out this upcoming event, below. 

I also wanted to ping folks involved with the Coqui project about the sound-based engagement, in the call for proposals below -- a coqui workshop sounds like it'd be super! Deadline on the 31st!

More soon,

Jeff
