Attended Summer 2022
Enter a super-natural spa that practices time as non-linear, wellness as care, community and reciprocity, beauty as becoming, hairstylists as healers, and hair as sacred technology of archival and antennae. While listening to a narrative audio journey, community cosmetic healers and performers Hima Batavia and Nikola Steer (Coco Framboise) invite you into an encounter of somatic activation using consensual hair play and tender presence, to hold space for a process of self-inquiry and multi-dimensional exploration.
