Welcome to The Casserole Series!

Here's what The Casserole Series looked like: Over the last year, on programmed Sundays, I made casseroles and kept an unlocked door. I invited artists and friends to gather in my apartment. A featured artist showed their work to an audience strewn across my bedroom floor. The series hosted video installations, sound artists, printmakers, poets, and dancers. Often, their work was a personal experiment, testing the boundaries of both new and familiar mediums. And of course, we ate casserole. Nothing too fancy. Just midwest's finest served on mismatched dinnerware.

In the wake of the global pandemic, The Casserole Series is now moving online. Every Sunday a different artist will be featured on the site. We have artists working in embroidery, poetry, performance, dance, and video lined up. These Sunday shows will often include a live artist talk, Q&A, reading or performance. Keep a lookout for times and links so that you can attend! And of course, there will always be a casserole recipe -- you'll just have to make it yourself. 

The first show is this Sunday, April 19th. Salima Al-Ismaili will invite us into a place of dreams through her embroidery and sketches. See details for Salima Al-Ismaili's show and upcoming events here. 

I miss crowded apartments. I miss feeding friends and strangers. I miss the possibility of becoming friends with strangers. I miss you.  

But for now, in this digital space, I am so happy you are here.
