“The Slow Down” is a monthly, donation-based gathering series designed specifically for social impact professionals looking to prioritize their wellbeing. We define social impact professionals as those working (or volunteering) in spaces that create positive change in society, and are invovled in solving our region’s toughest challenges and inequities.
This event will be a celebration of womanhood and the highs and lows of having to grow up, showcasing art from Sandrine Bekono in the perspective of Black femininity, rage, desire, and optimism, and will feature music inspired by the 1995 film “Party Girl”, food, and drinks.
Bekono’s dynamic yet playful use of color and anatomy allow her to explore her ongoing relationships with Black girlhood, womanhood and perception.
