“Flowstate: Self and Community Healing through Art” with Moses Sun

Years of chaotic personal, political and social change have brought multi-media artist, curator and muralist Moses Sun to understand his work as visual meditation. Reflecting on his childhood in the American South and the strata of interlocking diasporas that make up the United States, Sun uses a hybrid method of creation from digital to analog to offer spontaneous and improvised compositions of color and expression. We welcome this Seattle-artist addition to our next Paper Whale series and we can’t wait for you to join us!

 

This event is FREE but RSVP is required

 

Date: Wednesday, June 7, 2023 | 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Location: Flow Shala, Bellingham, WA

*Closing reception with Moses Sun to follow at Hotel Leo’s Amendment 21
