On November 6, 2026, we will share Black Weirdo School Psychic Defense Club , the first iteration of our long-term collaboration with LA-based writer, performer, and artist, Gabrielle Civil, curated by writer and curator Shameekia Shantel Johnson. This iteration of Civil’s Black Weirdo School (2022-present) continues the artist’s way of activating performance to combat the psychological effects of racialized violence, particularly in relation to art, education, and art education. Part exorcism, part survival preparedness, and part pop up dance party, this solo performance is precursor to a major survey exhibition being organized for Spring 2027.
