QUEER WEAVERS AND THE SHRIEKS OF HAGALON- Event





QUEER WEAVERS AND THE SHRIEKS OF HAGALON, an exhibition curated by High Prieztezz Or Nah opened with fanfare this past week in L/I/C, with Dream Beat: New Moon in Taurus taking place the following Saturday in the gallery led by UNDAKOVA.

Featured Artists: Damali Abrams, Pauli Cakes, Elisa Ghs, Undakova, Julia Maria Sinelnikova, Greem Jellyfish, Andy Boyce, Fran Ledonio Flaherty & Susannah Simpson & Special Guest Jana Astanov, *Yannanda the One Who Speaks with the Stars*

QUEER WEAVERS brings together spiritually nomadic sex-positive radicals working in the mediums of fabric, installation, herbalism, healing, new media, glitch, sound and ritual performance. Conjuring Queen Crone, Sacred Whore, Devouring Mother, Gangsta Bitch and Virile Beast, these freaks of gypsy-pelvis-sorcery are keen on spiritual bricolage and plant medicine. The mysteries of female biology dominated human religious thought, art and ritual for 200,000 years of life on earth. We are a collective effort led by womxn decolonizing the 6,000 “civilizing” dominator-model years damned by white male patriarchy; rethinking Mother-complexes beyond “sexual-pathology,” and plumbing ancestral fertility cults which venerated organic life cycles in embodied rituals that continually recenter our humanity.

new video by Elisa Garcia de la Huerta aka Ayurvedic Mamma highlighting her recent Southeast Asian Immersion: BUDDHANIMAL NATURE, Techno Depression, 2018-19 
Queercore feminist no-genre artist and Ayurvedic practitioner Elisa Ghs aka Ayurvedia Mamma's textiles and soundscapes are informed by on-body research around the effects of meditation, tantra and techno.

Elisa Garcia de la Huerta was born 1983 in Santiago, Chile and is an interdisciplinary artist and Ayurveda practitioner. She received her BFA at Universidad Finis Terrae, Chile in 2006 and her MFA Fine Arts at the School of Visual Arts, New York in 2011. She was also co-leader of Go! Push Pops the queer, transnational feminist performance art collective. Her work invokes the primal Archetype of the quadruple Goddess: Virgen, Mother, Shaman and Witch. Through a global return to the feminine in all aspects, we might soften into a balance between our technological advancement and our human evolution in consciousness. Facing the consequences of techno-capitalism, including our urgent need for real human connection and our alienation from nature and spirituality; in her work she explores “our shadow” among the struggle to adapt to our Information Age.

7 Reasons why becoming a member of Beat365 rocks.

As you already might know I go by the alias Undakova (Undercover) and I am beat maker, DJ and MC here in NYC. I have been producing hip hop beats since the 90s and have produced my own hip hop instrumentals for my album created here in New York City. I often get asked by R & B artist and MCs "Can you produce some beats for my album?" One day the question popped up in my head "Where does an artist find great sounding Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them?" If an artist doesn't have a friend or business partner who is a producer or know how to/ want to produce beats on there own spare time (which can take a lot of time and money) where does he/she find a complete collection of hip hop beats? Well the answer is simple. . . . To find Hip hop, r&b and rap beats that sound so good you play them in your car for fun as well as record song after song with them go to Beats365...

What is Twhirl?

Ok so its been a few month of being involved in twittering. Yes I have been on Twitter since January I believe and I have about 530 followers and have made several tweets which go directly to my facebook status which I love. So basically I have been using twitter to be a connection to making status's that not only go to facebook but can be on the twitter public timeline as well as in several widgets that are attached to my blog and even myspace. I guess its say for me social networking has been a focus in the new year. But it gets better. . .even better. I am about to try Twhirl. You know what Twhirl is? oh man so why didn't you tell me? Oh oh you don't know what it is? Well its a desktop application (which might be shady) that allows you to organize your twitter experience in a huge way. They even have more of these desktop appliciations available by other names. Tweet Deck and some others probably exist too. So anyhow it was a decision between Tweet deck and Twhirl for m...

Can somebody say Amen

After a week of seeing different people come in our house and leave our house with smiles on there faces still our sublet process is not complete. I wake up today and meditate my stress's away. Well most of em. Yesterday I spent all day working on a proposal for a school in Washington heights who seem to be interested in having an after-school program formulated by my company Willpowa. Weeks went by and I spent my days working on music and completing songs in the studio only to leave the proposal writing up to a trusted friend and fellow mc. Suffice to say it never got completed due to my energy being scattered amongst recording and subleting my place. Not to mention being a good boyfriend through the process. So turns out my friends from the UK want to look over it this weekend so I will have to submit the proposal in a bit late anyhow but hopefully with more spunk than it had in the first place. Anyway lets just say the only thing that helped me from not having a nervous breakdow...
