Have you ever felt something deep down within but just didn’t have the words to describe it? Apparently you’re not alone, as a new reading series dubbed Clattering Loom aims to examine those very feelings:
Clattering Loom is a quarterly reading series that focuses on one untranslatable phrase or word from a language other than English that expresses something for which there is no singular definition in our language.
For the Autumn installment, we have chosen the French word “dépaysement,” which translates loosely as: the feeling from not being in one’s home country; a change of scenery, unexpected and new horizons.
It’s all going down this Sunday from 12-4pm at Gallery 4N5, and there will be readings from the likes of Maisha Johnson and Jonathan Hirsch, as well as music by Tiny Home, not to mention everyone’s favorite frybread purveyor Rocky Yazzie coming through with a special breakfast version to soak up the $3 mimosas. It’ll be the perfect FREE rainy day activity, even if it’s not raining!

Is Mission Mission taking a cut from the proceeds of this event?
well smartass, since the event is FREE, i kind of doubt it!
just to be clear, here at mission mission we delight in letting our community know about all sorts of rad things going on around our neighborhood. recently, we started throwing a rad event of our own, American Tripps Berlin-style Ping Pong, which is why you see us talking about it so much. we get a cut from that because it’s OUR party, obvs.
if you’ve got a problem with that, please find another blog to read!
Gotta love the Badlands.
glad someone recognized! throw on a hot snakes album and drive through this place . . . bliss.
