Just read a great review of Khara Koffel‘s latest object and installation endeavors. Her exhibition “later rather than sooner” will be up at Good Citizen Gallery in St. Louis until July 11th.

The latest exhibition poster from the latest exhibition.
It is official. 6+ will be showing its latest project with the Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the International Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale this August.
I will be spending the next 2 months building the project DVD and turning the English subtitles into Korean subtitles. Does anyone have any suggestions for inserting the Korean translations into the videos? I’m editing in Final Cut.
If you have any suggestions please shoot me an email.

Rozalinda Borcila and Mary Rachel Fanning are artists and educators. They are members of the 6+ collective, which strives to build solidarities between women artists across great geographic and cultural distance. Over the last three years, 6+ has been working with Palestinian women artists on a project which traveled throughout the West Bank and the US. They are also working in collaboration with young women of Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the Occupied Territories of Palestine.
The work of the collective often takes place as women cook and share food together. This evening’s menu features dishes that have been shared many times with friends and loved ones in the Occupied Territories: Za’atar with bread and olive oil; Makloubeh (upside-down chicken); Msaqa’a (eggplant and tomato casserole), Maramia tea.
Supper Club is $15 per person for a fixed menu created by the guest chefs (usually includes starters, entree, dessert, and tea/coffee)
Seating is limited. RSVP to:
