> an invitation to "50/50" <
friday march 4 (PM) + sat march 5 (AM) ////
50/50 is half public offering and half community gathering; it’s a neither-here-nor-there hybrid affair. A “yes/and” hangout; an experiment in mismatching the set.
50/50 is also a happening about all that’s happened. It’s a time, and a place, and a way to gather and connect at the dead end of winter, on the cusp of an unknown spring, in a time of continued tumult and continued awe.
Despite and because of it all, togetherness feels like a radical act.

Whether you come for the afternoon/eve portion or the morning-after rendezvous, you’ll also find a:

+ sweatshirts + more from @actnormal2020 benefiting @nurturingrootsfarm
+ distribution of Topographical Landscapes, a social research zine from LSC/Soft Data that’s not exactly a zine (in true mismatched, neither-here-nor-there fashion)
+ crowd-sourced analogue audio time capsule (because by this time next year, we might really want to know who and what and where and when and how we were right here right now)
+ Sensory Van Film Fest featuring Theresa Wingert, Jessa Carter, and Laura Sullivan Cassidy
50/50 is also the final installment of Artist in Residence Laura Sullivan Cassidy’s Awkward Trust Building Exercises — but you don’t need to know anything about any of that to hang out this weekend.
You’re invited to treat 50/50 like a gallery/shop/cafe; invite a friend you’ve been wanting to see to meet you there for a snack and a drink, just like if it was any other favorite nosh/bev/hang spot.
You’re invited to treat 50/50 like a living room that exists halfway between our house + yours; we miss you, we need you, let’s catch-up.
You’re invited to treat 50/50 like an experiment ~~~ that’s what it is for us.
