“Make As You Are” Event: Breakup/Breakdown [NEW TIME]

Friday, February 14, 2025 at 3:00pm
Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery

Free and open to the public

Wesleyan students who are part the Center for the Arts’ Director’s Council, a new initiative that gives students hand-on experience in arts leadership, will host the second in a series of novice-friendly, interdisciplinary “Make As You Are” workshops. This workshop, Breakup/Breakdown, will experiment with language and electronic music as attendees write love poems that will be remixed into a score that fills the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery with fragments of love, longing, and heartbreak from 3pm to 5pm.  

This free, interdisciplinary workshop pairs creative writing with sound production by Sam Boston '25 and graduate music students Shawn O'Sullivan and Emma Mistele. Catered food will be provided. 

The Private Figure exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Chris Domenick flirts with designed objects that recall domestic interiors, an extension of his studio practice based out of a former Subway restaurant in Canaan, Connecticut. Lamps fill the gallery, displayed as works of art while also filling the space with light. Drawings, prints, fragments of paper, or found imagery are suspended inside of frames that hang on the wall and press the limits of their own decorative nature.

Learn more about the exhibition and related events, on display through Sunday, March 2, 2025.
