Grant Writing Workshop: Led by Cleo Reed

Recognizing the inaccessibility of capital for artistic production, artist Cleo Reed will host a grant writing workshop for artists and creatives, teaching techniques and best practices.

Part of the exhibition —a set of musical works, sculptures, and performances presented by Cleo Reed and Assembly, working to protest against the demand of labor and productivity in the US. The never-before released studio album, performance piece, and installation synthesizes field songs, traditional American music genres such as blues, folk, and country, and the Black cultural canon of literature, film, music, and more in order to provoke conversations and create distinct changes in the way these canons are embraced. Exploring systems, labor and the body, we work with musical compositions, wooden sculpture, and fabric arts to deepen the context we hold as inhabitants of cities but descendants of country living.
