Feminist Center for Creative Work, Los Angeles
LACE and the Feminist Center for Creative Work invite you to celebrate the spring equinox with a workshop facilitated by CAO Collective. Rooted in a feminist ethics of care, the Ciba Punch subverts the Chinese traditional ciba (food)-making process and reveals the often hidden domestic labor performed by womxn. By punching, chanting, making together, this collective feminist performance reclaims our own definitions of (em)power(ment) from patriarchal definitions of force and gendering. Together, we reimagine a powerful yet non-punitive way of community building and healing. This workshop features a performance by Julia Santoli and is multigenerational and open to all! Please note that although we try to follow sanitary procedures, we are not qualified to serve the ciba as food, and please consume at your own risk. To ensure the health and safety of our community, we require that participants wear a face mask (KN94/95 and higher quality preferred) and use sanitation gloves when punching. We will provide masks and gloves. Please note that this public program will be photographed and video recorded.
