texas folklife convening
Come be part of history. The inaugural Texas Folklife Convening brings culture bearers, folk artists, and traditional arts practitioners together for two days of connection, celebration, and bold conversation about the future of our living traditions.
Together, we'll dig into the big questions. How do we keep Texas's folk and traditional arts thriving? What challenges are artists facing right now? And how can we join forces to preserve, present, and pass on these practices across every community we call home?
We kick off Friday with a welcome night at Batch, full of good company, great energy, and a warm introduction to the weekend ahead. Then Saturday begins with a full day of panels, roundtable discussions, and hands-on workshops. Expect deep dives into Mexican folk art, flamenco, diasporic music and dance, storytelling, and so much more.
Free and open to the public, RSVP is required, so claim your spot.
Full schedule and event details coming soon. Stay tuned
This project is supported in part by a Thrive Grant of Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
Peace collective community acupuncture
Peace Collective invites you to experience the many benefits of ear acupuncture. Developed in the 1970s, ear acupuncture has a multitude of uses including support for stress, mental health, addiction recovery, trauma, and pain. Community acupuncture allows us to regulate our nervous systems together, so we may create new connections for ourselves and our world.
After a brief introduction and sign in's, we begin with a short guided meditiation. Acupuncture is administered and participants have the opportunity to relax with needles for up to 40 minutes. We also offer non-needle alternatives. Please feel free to bring a yoga mat and/or pillows if you'd like to relax on the ground- we usually administer acupuncture in a seating position but we're happy to offer alternatives for folks.
This event is free/donation based.
Hosted by Peace Collective, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Austin, Texas. Our mission is to support health equity at its root by providing pro-bono community acupuncture to our neighborhoods with a focus on multicultural and multilingual communities.
