In partnership with The Witch Institute, Minor Hockey Curatorial is proud to present ‘A Gesture, A Reading: Finding Touch in Occult Practices and Performance Art’ featuring virtual performances by Erika DeFreitas and Maggie Groat on Saturday, August 21, at 7pm EST.

Exploring themes of gesture, touch, and incantation, this event will contemplate how haptic and oral rituals are taken up within the disparate realms of contemporary performance art and the occult.

ARTIST PRINTS:

In conjunction with their performances, Erika DeFreitas and Maggie Groat have created a limited number of physical artist prints to be mailed out in advance of the performances. To request prints, email minorhockeycuratorial@gmail.com with your name and mailing address. We apologize that mailing is only available for addresses within so-called “Canada.” Once physical supplies run out/for international attendees, prints will be made available as downloadable digital PDFs, accessible via the Minor Hockey Curatorial Facebook page in August.

ACCESSIBILITY:

Please email minorhockeycuratorial@gmail.com by August 1st, 2021 if there are specific accommodations we can implement to make this event more accessible.

Curated and hosted by Minor Hockey Curatorial, “a gesture, a reading” is a virtual contemporary art event that explores themes of gesture, touch, and incantation through performances by Erika DeFreitas and Maggie Groat.
