BOOK RELEASE PARTY - Gravity is a Concentration of Understandings

Are you an artist or art lover? Come bring your medium of art and celebrate the release of Remy Styrk’s new book Gravity is a Concentration of Understandings for his organization Halogen. Halogen uses visual art for suicide awareness in Black and Brown trans communities.

Join us for a mellow and introspective night of creation, rawness, and connection. In addition to hearing Remy read the introduction of his book and talk about the work of Halogen, we will create art inspired by Gravity is a Concentration of Understandings with prompts from Halogen while listening to the playlist of songs Remy listened to while writing the book.

For artists, bring your medium of art. For those other than artists, come observe and engage the soul. Get to your neighbors and what ignites their passion, vision, and expression and uplift it through your art. Photographers, writers/poets, painters, illustrators, textile artists, you name it!

Book Description:

Gravity is a Concentration of Understandings is an all-encompassing leap into the difference between meeting one’s soul versus meeting their physical body to start the deeper conversation of intersectionality and suicide awareness in Black and Brown trans communities. People from Black and Brown cultures from all over the world have been photographed and interviewed about how they view and honor their soul. The book features the transcripts of the interviews as well as Styrk’s documentation of his own suicide prevention journey through writing the book. This book is about putting your hands upon a story and letting it make new of your fingerprints.
