Workshop | Slow Flow Yoga


Connect with yourself in Slow Flow Yoga, a class to be enjoyed by all. For those who want to move but at a slower more therapeutic pace. Slow flow yoga connects movement with breath, emphasizing mindful engagement, awareness, and ease through each pose. As most postures are typically held longer than in more energetic forms of yoga, students have the time and space to move deliberately, explore subtler levels of alignment and deepen the stretch as they connect-in with their body.

Opening Reception | Diasporic Collage: Puerto Rico and the Survival of a People


This exhibition honors Puerto Rican identities in the archipelago and its diasporas. The Puerto Rican diaspora can be understood as a collage of overlapping histories of colonialism, resistance, and survival, and Diasporic Collage engages with collage as both practice and metaphor. Countering the concept of a melting pot, which emphasizes assimilation and loss of culture, the idea of a collaged community allows for the celebration of roots and relations. This exhibition also considers the close relationship between photography and collage, both notable 20th-century art forms. It takes the first major documentary initiative on the Puerto Rican diaspora as a point of departure to examine the enduring legacy of survival and migration. The artists featured in this exhibition consider the Puerto Rican diaspora in a fluid and expansive way. While several focus on the diaspora in the traditional sense—Puerto Ricans who migrate to the United States—many honor the different diasporas that intersect with the archipelago of Puerto Rico, documenting their communities with care and showing us a collage of Puerto Rican and Caribbean experiences.

Book Discussion | The Undertow: Christian Nationalism and the Fever Dream of Fascism (in-person and online)


Author Jeff Sharlet is one of the most important contemporary chroniclers of Christian nationalism. In works of immersive investigative journalism, he has charted the ways that particular forms of Christianity are braided into U.S. political life, reaching the highest levers of power. Organized around a series of “dispatches” (from on the ground coverage of Trump rallies in the 2016 and 2020 elections to interviews with pastors and members of right-wing militia churches), The Undertow takes us into the lives of everyday believers, their sorrows, hopes, and angers, and shows how they are magnetized into the fever dream of an America made great again through the figure of Trump.
