collective effervescence ~summer swap~

Tomorrow at 2pm · Somerville

Welcome back to summOre Collective Effervescence ! We believe in being part of the good loops of circularity by reusing items and and sharing our skills so we all continue to learn from, grow alongside, and inspire one another. You are invited to our afternoon summer swap: a park day filled with creativity and inspiration: giving items new lives, practicing sustainability in action by diverting and donating items from landfills, and learning and hanging out with others picnicking and listening to music. Activations of the day include: ~Community Closet~ where you can come with items to be swapped or donated. Bring formerly loved clothing, accessories, and shoes in good condition or that have a plan to be mended. All genders and sizes of clothing are welcome. Please get in touch with us if you’d like to do a teaching of how to do a repair or mending class for items. All items that are not traded or claimed will be donated to our neighbors in need. ~ a live block printing activation. Perhaps you have a plain shirt or item that you would like a collective effervescence stamp or maybe it’s your day to bring along tye dye or other natural dyes/ shirt markers/ etc. to the shirt making table. We will also be swapping loved books, propagations of plants or seeds, tinctures/ oils, or just things that you are willing to part ways with. Gently used art supplies can be donated to local Cambridge/ Somerville businesses or with others in the community. There are so many things that need the right person or right day to come together to be used! This is the day! As always, we welcome you to bring your nourishing dishes, your music, your art, your presence, and your full hearts and spirits. Bring a friend to share and mend, or come as you are! 🌀

Machina Memoriae — Opening Reception

Fri, Aug 21 at 6pm · Cambridge

Opening reception for Lauren Safier's new exhibition: Machina Memoriae. Safier's work draws on the language of industrial machine catalogs, where a mechanism's exact form is conveyed through technical illustration. She translates this method into a historiographic practice concerned with what survives in a record and what disappears. Her source is a 1911 catalog documenting the machines of the Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Works, once housed at this address. That same year, twenty-five women working in the foundry's core rooms became the subject of a state inquiry, prompted by male coworkers and journalists unsettled by the sight of them at work. What remains of them is only that account, written by others. Across her paintings and sculptures, Safier reimagines the historical record as an unstable chain of retellings, resisting the idea that history or memory could ever be continuous, or fully legible. The Foundry, 101 Rogers Street, Cambridge Friday, August 21, 6–8pm Complimentary food and drink provided by Dar Cafe
