Behind the Seams
THIS SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2 P.M., MOHAI (860 Terry Ave. N)
Pink for girls? Pants for boys? From color to cut, what we wear is infused with our era’s ideas about gender. Designers may emphasize “masculine” or “feminine” elements on a garment or create a “unisex” look, but the rules around what those words mean change over time. Join Curator of Collections, and 20s30s member Clara Berg, for an intimate in-person, one-hour session to view historic fashions in MOHAI’s collection which align with, deviate from, and expand our ideas about gendered clothing. Some may choose to join early (1 p.m.) to visit the museum’s exhibits and/or join after the 2 p.m. session (3:30 p.m.) for snacks and refreshments at a restaurant nearby the museum. Tickets are required for Behind the Seams admission. Saint Mark's discounted tickets are now sold out but you may still be able to buy a general admissions ticket here through MOHAI for the 2 p.m. session. Questions? Email Rose (pinuprose90@gmail.com).

BEING ROOTED IN SPIRITUAL PRACTICES | |
|
Molly Bosch has shared this prayer, "Let Us Pray" by Pádraig Ó Tuama at several events recently.
So let us pick up the stones over which we stumble, friends, and build altars.
Let us listen to the sound of breath in our bodies.
Let us listen to the sounds of our own voices, of our own names, of our own fears.
Let us name the harsh light and soft darkness that surround us.
Let’s claw ourselves out from the graves we’ve dug.
Let’s lick the earth from our fingers.
Let us look up and out and around.
The world is big and wide and wild and wonderful and wicked, and our lives are murky, magnificent, malleable, and full of meaning.
Oremus.
Let us pray.
