SUMMARY:Cacao Circle
DESCRIPTION:Cacao Circles are portals connecting our minds with our hearts and transcending our consciousness into peace. Following the Mayan Calendar\, the Chol’Qi\, we observe the tradition of drinking cacao ‘chaqiya’ to bring in balance\, health\, wealth\, and bliss. \nIf you’re familiar with the Mayan Chol’Qi calendar\, we will be connecting with the energy of Aq’a’bal\, the energy of the makaw and bat. A time to find balance with duality. In life there is day and night\, feminine and masculine\, sunrise and sunset\, up and down\, and the transitioning points in between. These transitions are when we ascend into our courageousness\, boldness and even-mindedness. Just like cacao it comes from under the ground grows with both darkness and light to then bring harmony to our being. The diversity of life comes from these dualities dancing in harmony and we can live in that cosmic dance too. \nYour guides\, Carolina Bolivar and Andrea Bertucci will be guiding you with this cacao ceremony into finding transcendance and beauty with your duality. through the energy of Aq’a’bal\, the energy of the dawn and dusk\, feminine and masculine\, yin and yang. \nBoth Carolina Bolivar and Andrea Bertucci are Mayan Cosmovision students and initiates of Nana Marina Cruz to share cacao and Mayan Cosmovision. \nProceeds will be contributed to Siembra Today.

SUMMARY:KASSET Live In Concert - Music Lab Residency
DESCRIPTION:Kasset is an indie band made up of five CUNY students from Colombia\, Indonesia\, Poland\, and the U.S. They blend indie and classic rock with R&B vibes creating a sound shaped by their backgrounds and shared experiences.\n​\nIt all started when Juanita (bass/vocals) and Noah (guitar/lead vocals) performed together at Brooklyn Music School. By their second performance at the Baruch Performing Arts Center\, the group had already grown to include Joey (drums)\, Faikar (guitar)\, and Amelia (keyboard/vocals). United by their passion for music\, Kasset was born.\n​\n“This show is our chance to share what we love doing with the people we love. It’s about the music\, but also about the community we’ve built along the way.” – Kasset \n​Don’t miss Kasset’s show at LPAC! \nThis is their first show as headliners. Come hear original songs\, favorite covers\, and special guest performances from Cherry Haze\, The New Days Band\, and solo artists Sabrina and Rozie. More than just a performance; it’s a celebration of everything they’ve built together.

SUMMARY:Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory at Culture Lab LIC
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: June 5\, 6-9pm. Beer\, wine\, food and live music. Free Admission. \nOn view June 5 – July 27 during gallery hours\, Thursday & Friday\, 5-9pm\, and Saturday & Sunday\, 2-9pm. \n​Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory is an interactive media installation exploring dementia\, memory\, and legacy within communities of color. Expanding on the Pass the Crown photo portrait series\, the project was inspired by the artist Pri’s late grandmother\, who had dementia and wore a crown in the final photo portrait taken of her by the artist. That crown became a symbol of resilience\, memory\, and dignity. That very same crown is now passed from model to model within the Pass the Crown photo series\, with each model impacted by dementia\, representing the continuation of their stories. Drawing from over a decade of experience as a dementia caregiver of both her grandmother and aunt\, the artist creates an interactive experience that invites audiences to engage with personal histories. \nThe installation features five large-scale editorial portraits\, each framed with symbolic materials reflecting the subject’s life. An interactive timeline highlights key moments\, while Augmented Reality (AR) allows visitors to unlock deeper layers of each story through images\, audio\, and personal artifacts. Pass the Crown: Voices & Memory honors the strength\, wisdom\, and love that endure beyond memory loss\, preserving the legacies of those affected and inspiring conversations about care\, connection\, and the power of storytelling. \nhttps://www.culturelablic.org/#pass-the-crown

SUMMARY:[Un]Framing Gender: From Pakistan and South Asia to America at Culture Lab LIC
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 5\, 6-9pm\, join us for the opening reception\, with beverages and light fare. One-night-only performance art and live music will fill the evening. Free Admission. \n​​On View: June 5 – July 27 during gallery hours\, Thursday & Friday\, 5-9pm\, and Saturday & Sunday\, 2-9pm. \n​[Un]Framing Gender invites viewers to traverse the intricate terrains of gender identity\, culture\, and self-expression through the artistic lens. \nThis dynamic exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists from South Asia and America\, showcasing innovative works that reflect the shifting landscapes of masculinity and femininity in contemporary society. \nThrough painting\, sculpture\, photography\, and mixed media\, each piece challenges conventional narratives and stimulates dialogue about the roles and perceptions of gender in both regions. \nBuilding from the 2022 exhibition\, ‘Zenana Mardana’\, curated by Pomme Gohar\, [Un]Framing Gender offers a vibrant space for conversation and introspection\, encouraging audiences to reconsider the intersections of culture\, power\, and personal expression transcending geographical boundaries and challenging cultural stereotypes. \nThe show is a curatorial collaboration by Tess Howsam (Artistic Director\, Culture Lab LIC\, America) and Pomme Gohar (Creative Director\, Phenomena\, Pakistan).​ \nhttps://www.culturelablic.org/unframing-gender#unframing-gender
