Schedule of Events

A CELL IS A CARNIVAL is a series of three events exploring nested proximities and mixed metaphors: body as fairground, ritual as network, wormhole as world. As emerging artists and organizers, we operate as organelles, barkers, and daemons. 

Our series begins with a garden-situated AI workshop led by Chelly Jin on Sunday December 1. Later that evening, we invite the community to join us at Human Resources to share works-in-progress in the company of friends and familiar strangers. We round out the week with the culminating event, “A Cell is a Carnival,” an experimental art show featuring new works by the UCLA D|MA MFA class of ‘26 cohort: Chelly Jin, Rowena Kou, Sadia Quddus, Sagan Yee, Stamatis Hamouzas, and Xiner Lan.
