[Brinda Guha]

Hello beautiful people! 

Would love for you and your friends, families and/or colleagues to join me and some wonderful local artists for The Lortel Theatre's "TINSEL: A GLOBAL HOLIDAY FESTIVAL" featuring a night of some work by yours truly, a gathering of sorts: "invocation: a holiday summoning". Attached to this email is the official press release. Hope to have you for this moving meditation just in time for this holiday season. My goal is to find a strong and intentional moment of communal serenity as we process what has been a life-changing 2 years.

Description: in·vo·ca·tion, or the action of invoking something or someone for assistance or as an authority. The south asian diasporic arts encompass an intersection of ancestral knowledge with presence of mind and the power to future a world that centers the right to have peace in our hearts. A collection of séances to call healing spirits forward as we mindfully re-emerge into a new normal, arts worker Brinda Guha brings together various local creators who deeply converge with south asian artistry to create a moment of serenity before ultimately building a necessary and steadfast bastion of hope.

Best,

Brinda Guha
