Sunday March 24, 4 p.m. ET
We hope you survived another comfortable (and somehow also painful?) winter hibernation in Philadelphia. We're excited to see you again in a few weeks, on Sunday, March 20 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. ET! As we decided in January, we are hosting a welcome home spring party/ritual with our theme as follows:
Colors
Color is one of the original frameworks through which we learn to observe and communicate in this world. A relentless source of metaphor, color is a malleable and always relevant means of communicating experience, emotion and sensation. Let's invoke satisfying synesthesias by reading aloud a myriad of color applications, past and present.
Our mood board
Nezami Ganjavi — A Description of the Autumn of Layli & Majnun, a 2021 translation by Dick Davis
The pomegranates split and fall bright red/As if their wounded vital organs were bleeding/And the red dates stare longingly into the shadow/That the open shells of the red pistachios have formed/While the orange and lemon fruits compete/ As to which musky spheres are the fullest/The gardener is drunk when he comes home, a sign/That he has tended vats of magic wine/And little by little the tired garden shows/The wounds that he received blows from the fall
