SUMMARY:Drawing from Experience: An Introduction to Graphic Medicine and Creating Autobiographical Comics
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP \n\n\n\nDrawing from Experience: An Introduction to Graphic Medicine and Creating Autobiographical Comics \n\n\n\n$45 | General Admission$35 | Surel’s Place Sustaining Member Admission (register with Special Passcode)Partial scholarships are available by request to info@surelsplace.org. \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER\n\n\n\n\nIn this workshop with Maja Milkowska-Shibata\, we will explore the advantages of comics as a medium\, highlighting their various applications\, such as simplifying complex concepts to enhance understanding and knowledge retention. We invite participants to focus on personal encounters with illness and disability exploring the genre of graphic medicine. These applications will be illustrated with examples from published graphic medicine works\, showcasing various visual styles and diverse authors. \n\n\n\nAs a hands-on exercise\, the workshop participants will choose a memorable or challenging topic to transform into a short comic strip. We will start by developing a written narrative\, which will then be adapted into a script and illustrated as a one-page zine. Participants will learn the basics of creating comics and relevant terminology. No drawing experience will be required\, and participants will be able to use publicly available images for reference. \n\n\n\nAfter completing the comic\, we will discuss participants’ impressions of using a visual format to convey information\, share experiences\, and express emotions. Participants will be encouraged to complete and publish their works as zines\, which can be copied and distributed at Surel’s Place community spaces\, the local libraries\, or submitted to short comic calls.

SUMMARY:Mix + Mingle + Maja
DESCRIPTION:Come meet Maja and see some of her work on display during Happy Hour at Oldspeak! She will also have some zines available. \n\n\n\nMaja Milkowska-Shibata (Illinois) was born and raised in Poland. She is a public health professional and medical interpreter by training\, using writing and art to share stories and perspectives. Over the past few years\, she began seeking a deeper connection to humanity in her work\, which led her to discover the field of graphic medicine\, which uses comics to discuss health-related topics. Her comics have been featured in Sequential Artists Workshop Anthologies (2023\, 2024)\, as well as in the journals The Rhetoric of Health and Medicine (2023)\, Intima (2024)\, and Tendon (2025).

SUMMARY:Exhibit and Art Talk: The OmniGripper
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION & ARTIST TALKThe OmniGripperFriday\, August 29th  |  7:00pm – 8:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\nAlieh Rezaei has created four fiber-based panels depicting the emergence of bodies and organs from the chest of a mountain. These works are inspired by four monumental tombs carved high into a cliff face in her native Iran. Her research centers on Naqsh-e Rostam\, a necropolis northwest of Persepolis\, where rock-cut tombs honoring Achaemenid kings (circa 550–330 BCE) embody both historical preservation and political narrative. Reinterpreting these carved facades through a personal lens\, she engages the body as a site of memory and transformation. At the heart of this project is an investigation of materiality: she associates the woolen texture of rock with a Quranic verse that describes mountains turning into carded wool on the Day of Judgment–an image etched into her memory since childhood. This symbolic connection becomes a framework for confronting and resisting recurring cycles of pressure\, as she continuously reshapes carded wool\, reclaiming the repetitive act of needle-felting as a gesture of endurance and transformation. \n\n\n\nThe art talk will be followed by a short Q&A and reception.

Surel’s Place is pleased to present Alumna Artist-in-Residence Reeb Willms with Caleb Klauder\, a country roots music duo bringing soulful harmonies\, driving dance tunes\, and classic original songs. It’s been 6 years since Reeb’s artist residency at Surel’s Place where she led harmony singing workshops and developed her own original songwriting. She shared this personal music for the first time at The Audio Lab and now one of those songs\, “All About Love\,” is her first ever published song in the their new album\, Gold In Your Pocket (2024). Join Surel’s Place at the Visual Arts Collective to listen to heartfelt music\, tunes both new and old\, and celebrate hardworking artists and our vibrant arts community. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS TITLE SPONSOR: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SUPPORTING SPONSOR: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT CALEB AND REEB \n\n\n\nCaleb Klauder and Reeb Willms live in the San Juan Islands of Washington\, though until recently\, home was Portland\, OR. They are foundational to the exceptional old-time and country music scene in the Pacific NW with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band and their membership in the Foghorn Stringband\, of which Caleb was a founding member. Charismatic performers\, they bring their unique set of talents to the stage with an eye towards good times and an ear towards the deepest songs and tunes. \n\n\n\nCaleb Klauder and Reeb Willms both originally hail from Washington State: Caleb from the coastal islands\, and Reeb from the high desert plateau. The two have come together in music and are hailed as some of the most compelling musicians making country roots music in America today. When these two sing together\, their honest incantations leave us spell-bound and smiling. \n\n\n\nTheir repertoire is made up of original songs and tunes as well as gems from American roots repertoires\, and the music they make is Americana in the truest sense of the word. Music is clearly in their blood. Caleb and Reeb’s originals and interpretations of songs have been covered and recorded by many performers and their musical presence reaches into a diverse and loyal fanbase\, giving creedance to the impact that this duo has on their listeners. Pillars of the Northwest music scene\, they carry the torch of their music around the world\, and can be found touring as a duo\, as well as with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band\, their bluegrass band the Cali Cutups\, and with the Foghorn Stringband. Their fans exude admiration for the timeless sound that these two produce\, capturing the essence of American roots music.

SUMMARY:Concert: DEATH'S MOTIF
DESCRIPTION:CONCERTDEATH’S MOTIFThursday\, July 31st \n\n\n\n\n\nMusician and composer Siobhan Cassidy Robinson has been writing music during this residency that goes beyond the concert stage. She is conceiving a stage production set in the heart of mid-1900s New York\, during the golden age of Broadway\, where director Theodore “Teddy” Blackwood is preparing for his most ambitious play yet! Beneath the glittering surface of the theater\, something sinister is unfolding: actors and staff disappear–or worse\, turn up dead! The composer and music director\, Edmund Vale\, secretly uses these dark events as inspiration for his compositions. Unable to finish the final song due to his growing infatuation with the lead actress\, Celine Dubois\, the show is at risk\, and the mystery surrounding the theater grows darker. With the support of local musicians forming a quartet\, Cassidy will share some of the immersive music at the core of each character. \n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Reading: WATER EYE
DESCRIPTION:The central focus of Ivy Raff’s residency at Surel’s Place has been revisions to her third poetry collection. The titular poem and others meditate on the slower\, more internal movements – like the small water that drips on a boulder for centuries before cracking it – that define our evolving relationship to family and community\, to individual and cultural bodies that live and die out. Much of the “source material” for these pieces root in her own experiences balancing her feminism and pro-Palestine activism with her Eastern European Jewish heritage and identity. Still\, the questions with which this work grapples are cross-cultural. How can those of us who are more of a pariah at home than in the world outside of it find belonging in the communities we forge? The answers loop through lifetimes; our personal struggles are indeed personal\, but not unprecedented. What can our culture’s forgotten past feed us\, when its present seems ill-fit? How can we name ourselves as part of its future? \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY  \n\n\n\nAfter writing poetry privately for two decades\, in 2021 Ivy Raff (Queens\, New York) left a long career in technology and public policy to focus solely on writing. Since then\, she’s written two poetry collections: Rooted and Reduced to Dust and What Remains/Que Queda\, a bilingual English/Spanish translation which won 2nd place in the Dolors Alberola International Poetry Prize. Her heritage threads through her poetry. The two collections explore how a Bolshevik-influenced Jewish immigrant family in Amerika moves across time. Their granddaughter is a pro-woman\, pro-Palestine writer working with complex individual and cultural histories of trauma\, abuse\, and healing. \n\n\n\nHer individual poems and translations have been published in such noted literary spaces as Ninth Letter\, International Poetry Review\, Electric Literature\, Atlanta Review\, and Aesthetica Creative Writing Award Annual\, among numerous others. Ivy serves creative communities as the Senior Systems Project Manager at MacDowell\, the United States’ first artist residency\, and as a member of the editorial staff at Seventh Wave Magazine. \n\n\n\nIvy holds an MPA in public policy from the City University of New York at Baruch College and a double Bachelors in economics and psychology from Fordham University.  She lives in Morelos\, Mexico with her partner\, the novelist and human rights attorney Jorge Ríos. \n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Writing from the Bottom of the Mind
DESCRIPTION:In this full-day generative writing workshop\, Artist-in-Residence Ivy Raff guides participants to learn or hone the Zen approach to writing as instructed by Natalie Goldberg.

SUMMARY:READING: Poetry and Pints
DESCRIPTION:READINGPOETRY AND PINTSTuesday\, June 10th  |  6:30pm \n\n\n\nat Oldspeak: 3640 W Chinden Blvd in Garden City \n\n\n\n21+ \n\n\n\nDonate to attend \n\n\n\nSpecial Event: Poetry and Pints \n\n\n\nSurel’s Place is partnering with The Lit Room and gaining special access to Oldspeak on Tuesday\, June 10th at 6:30pm for a private poetry reading from our next artist-in-residence Ivy Raff. Cozy up with a pint of Alliteration Beer (or other NA offerings) and absorb Ivy’s readings from both published and unpublished work in English and Spanish.  \n\n\n\nIvy will be reading from her book Rooted and Reduced to Dust published just last year from Finish Line Press. The book is included in some of the donation levels and Ivy will be available to sign them at the reading.  She will also read from What Remains / Que queda\, a bilingual English/Spanish collection that won the Alberola International Poetry Prize with publication pending. The reading will be followed by a discussion led by The Lit Room’s Cristina Houston. \n\n\n\nHeaven and earth conspire that everything which has been\, be rooted and reduced to dust. \n\n\n\n-Isaac Bashevis Singer \n\n\n\nSo begins Ivy Raff‘s debut poetry chapbook\, which plumbs the depths of movement\, of growth: from one generation to the next\, from Eastern Europe across America\, from sickness to health.  With braided fearlessness and vulnerability\, Raff bridges the past with the heartbreaking tenderness of today. \n\n\n\nObservant\, challenging\, sensuous\, glowing with an undercarriage of mystique\, Raff’s poems are torsos that twist to embrace the universe.  Every muscled line is taut\, knowing its desire and how to hold what it loves in its arms. \n\n\n\n–Jimmy Santiago Baca\, American Book Award-winning author of Martin and Meditations on the South Valley  \n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Metamorphilia: Open Studio and Art Talk
DESCRIPTION:Metamorphilia is a conceptual framework that embraces change. Hybridizing scientific research and creative process\, Nina Elder imagines a future where planetary dynamics act as scores for human behavior and we become adept in the flux between life and death\, grief and joy\, creativity and mourning. Inspired by the story of biologic extinctions and resilience compressed into Boise’s metamorphic rock\, Metamorphilia investigates personal and environmental potentiality.  \n\n\n\nDuring her residency\, Nina asked the land how we can learn from cycles of fracture and transformation. Erosion was her teacher. Granite revealed what endures after disintegration. Explored and expressed through performance\, drawing\, and writing\, Metamorphilia invigorates the mind and body towards the future\, imagines a planet that is dynamic and beyond human control\, yet fosters deep connection and stewardship. As Nina works towards the culmination of this project\, she will share both collections and creations from her residency: photos\, videos\, sculptural props and pseudo-scientific tools.

SUMMARY:Reading: Lineages of Non Consent and Lineages of Pleasure
DESCRIPTION:AIR Amanda Machado will read excerpts from essays and a book project that explore how sexuality and desire connects her to the women of her lineage. In this project\, she explores both the lineage of non consent in her family\, as well as lineages of pleasure\, and the queer elements of all immigrant woman narratives when we think of queerness as an act of bodily autonomy\, rather than only a sexual orientation.  \n\n\n\nThese essays meditate on the question: How do you create a life you’ve never seen before\, and how do you trust that it honors those before you? \n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Writing Immigrant Queerness
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOPWRITING IMMIGRANT QUEERNESSSaturday\, April 19th  |  1:00pm – 4:00pm \n\n\n\n$25 : Surel’s Place Sustaining Members$35 : General Workshop RegistrationPartial scholarships available on request to info@surelplace.org. \n\n\n\nPeople of color encouraged to attend\, but writers of all backgrounds and levels welcome. \n\n\n\nMax participants: 20 \n\n\n\nAges 15 & up \n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION  \n\n\n\nHow do you create a life you’ve never seen before\, and how do you trust that it honors those before you? In this workshop\, writer-in-residence Amanda Machado explores how queer writers and writers of color have used writing as a tool to define the future they desired but could not yet create. In particular\, the class will focus on writing from queer people of color from immigrant families. Through the inspiration of work from Audre Lorde\, Daisy Hernandez\, Ocean Vuong and others\, together we’ll write on prompts that help unearth stories about how queerness and the immigrant experience help us think differently about desire\, respectability\, “the American Dream\,” and family legacy. \n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY \n\n\n\nIn nearly a decade of their work\, Amanda Machado (CA) has focused on writing stories about travel\, outdoor adventure\, and sexuality that center the experiences of queer people and women of color. Recognizing the common erasure of those stories\, she has aimed to use her work\, as writer Matthew Salesses wrote\, to “take responsibility for absence.” \n\n\n\nAs a queer daughter of immigrants from Mexico and Ecuador\, Amanda has always felt split between many places. “I write stories that show how those of us — children of immigrants and displaced people\, queers\, gender-expansive folks — who grow up with our first experiences of home and desire and identity expanding past binaries\, ultimately become the kind of people who want to take in the world intimately\, who view travel as something we naturally must do.” In this next chapter of their work\, she also wants to write more directly about the link between ancestry\, colonization and travel\, how women have used travel to gain agency over their own bodies\, escape violence\, create refuge for themselves\, and redefine who they are.  \n\n\n\nAmanda has a BA in English Literature/Nonfiction from Brown University. Their work has been published in The Atlantic\, Guernica\, The Washington Post\, Adroit Journal\, Slate\, The Guardian\, Sierra Magazine\, among many others outlets.  In addition to their essay writing\, Amanda also is a public speaker and workshop facilitator on issues of justice and anti-oppression for organizations around the world. She is also the founder of Reclaiming Nature Writing\, a multi-week online workshop that centers the experiences of people of color in how we tell stories about the outdoors. \n\n\n\nThis programming is supported in part by Creative West and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: In a Frame Whose Moment... / در قابی که گاهش…
DESCRIPTION:Artist in residence Ainaz Alipour created textile pieces depicting scenes of beauty\, prayer\, pleasure\, and unconditional self-love. Inspired by archival photos\, traditional Iranian sewing patterns\, and painting\, this project offers a tender and intimate portrayal of Iranian women\, countering their historically misunderstood depictions in Western media. \n\n\n\nAt the core of Ainaz’s studio practice is the exploration of the relationship between digital and tangible forms and their role in creating hyperreality. Over the years\, she has collected an archive of Iranian families’ home videos that capture the everyday lives of Iranian women. She used still images from these videos to create textile panels using embroidery\, fabric collage\, and appliqué techniques. The artwork is installed at a high elevation\, with the fabrics extending down to the ground\, among other pieces.
