Each month, fanny kearse & a musical guest meet inside a 4D sound container, where words travel, music breathes & listening becomes physical. sound—at times improvised, at times composed—moves around & through the body, creating a room where language is no longer fixed on the page, but alive in motion.
APRIL 16th - Desiree Dawson
7:00-8:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm
**if cost is a barrier please reach out to Lobe directly - nobody will be turned away for lack of funds
ARTIST BIOS:
fanny kearse
fanny kearse, a Black-Queer-Jewish-Disabled human, is a recovering people-pleaser & overachiever. A late bloomer, dreamer & community tender, their art explores themes of self-reclamation & connection to land, grief as a guide, pain as a portal to the divine and the joy of unbecoming. In 2021 they won the Harold Green Theatre Monologue Competition. In 2023 fanny published their first book of poetry & prose. She holds an AiRs residency, sits on the boards: Curtain Razors, All Bodies Dance Project and Black & Rural. You can find fanny curating multidisciplinary art experiences on the unceded, unsurrendered Coast Salish Territories where they are living out the wildest of their dreams with her co-creator at life and art, Que.
